White Sox vs Rangers (07.21 09:05, Globe Life Field)

Starters: White Sox Erick Fedde / Rangers Jacob deGrom

Chicago sits in third place at a .530 winning percentage, just a shade ahead of Texas in sixth at .510, and the recent trend leans slightly White Sox as well -- they've won their last game while the Rangers dropped theirs. It's a close matchup by the standings either way, and the two teams haven't actually played each other yet this season, so there's no head-to-head record to lean on.

On the mound, Fedde's velocity has been remarkably consistent over his last five starts, sitting in the 93-94 mph range each time out. DeGrom has actually been trending up, opening in the high-96s and touching 98.7 mph in his most recent outing. Their season ERAs already favor deGrom, 3.49 to Fedde's 4.15, and the gap holds up in recent form too -- Fedde's FIP over his last five starts sits at 3.45 and deGrom's at 2.57, both better than their season marks, but deGrom's edge in stuff and results carries through.

Both lineups are still unconfirmed for tonight, so there's some room for the actual cards to shift, and there wasn't anything particularly notable in either lineup's history against tonight's opposing starter.

The two offenses are trending in slightly different directions -- the White Sox have cooled from .252 on the season to .239 over their last five games, while the Rangers have actually ticked up from .256 to .263, giving Texas a small edge at the plate right now. The bullpens flip that script, though. Chicago's relief corps has been outstanding lately, posting a 1.61 ERA over 9.2 innings across seven pitchers, while Texas's pen has struggled badly, allowing a 7.75 ERA over 11.1 innings with ten different arms used.

Put together, deGrom gives Texas the sharper arm on paper, but a shaky Rangers bullpen could easily become the swing factor if this one is still close in the late innings.
