Bet Tonight’s Rangers vs. White Sox Game
Perez pitched six innings of two-three run ball in a no-decision against the Orioles in his last start. He’s posted a 3.44 ERA through 18.1 innings pitched this year and is 0-1, but his .560 FIP and 5.09 xFIP is an indication of bad outings ahead. His strikeout (4.42) and walk (5.40) rates are poor and his .255 BABIP will likely rise over his next few starts.

Quintana allowed three runs on seven hits over six innings in a loss at the Rays on April 17. He’s posted a 2.55 ERA but his 1.51 FIP shows just how well he’s pitched this season and his 2.62 xFIP is excellent as well. His strikeouts are up (9.17), his walks are down (1.53), and he has yet to give up a home run on the year. He’s been excellent.
OUR PICK: The Rangers are 0-6 in Perez’s last six starts and are 1-5 in his last six road starts. They’re also just 2-5 in his last seven starts versus the American League Central and have dropped all four of his last four road outings versus a team with a winning record. On the other side, the White Sox are 5-1 in Quintana’s last six starts versus the AL West and have won 10 of their last 14 meetings with Texas in Chicago.
