This is the fourth straight road game for Chicago after losing two of the first three in Texas. They lost both as a favorite, 3-2 and 8-0, and the lone win was by one run, 2-1. The offense is 17th in runs scored, 19th in on-base percentage, 20th in slugging, and 24th in steals. They're favored again, but starter Lucas Giolito (5.06 ERA) has had a shaky season and has struggled against Texas with a 7.20 ERA versus them. Texas plays its sixth consecutive home game and has won four of the last five against Chicago. With Texas 18-14 as an underdog of +125 to +175, back the home team to win the game or lose by one run. Play Texas on the runline.
