The Texas Rangers and Chicago White Sox are playing live on the MLB schedule on Wednesday afternoon and the game from US Cellular Field has Chris Sale on the mound for Chi-town and that comes against Nick Tepesch and after Adam Dunn got on the hill last night in a blowout and this game starts up at 2:10 pm ET for the baseball coverage.
The Rangers and White Sox played a doozy of a game on Tuesday and that saw Adam Dunn get onto the mound in a 15-0 thrashing and now the team is hoping for a closer matchup. The Sox are heading into Seattle for a four game series after this and they could use to get some positive play coming in before that happens and Texas has been the worst team in baseball for most of the season.
The Rangers have been really bad this season and they have only gone 7-26 over their last major stretch since the end of June and they are now in last place in the AL West. The team has dealt with more injuries than anyone else this year, but they frankly are just bad and now they will try and win against the White Sox after their major blowout last night. Tepesch has been good at times this season and he was very strong in his start against the Yankees and he could be what pitches the team to a win on Wednesday and he will be on the mound against Sale, a Cy Young candidate.
Tepesch took the loss in that game against the Yankees that went to 14 inning and that was just a 2-1 game and he has been one of the best pitchers for the team while dealing with injuries. The White Sox come into the game after an embarrassing loss and now they are getting ready to play the Mariners and they will face off against Roenis Elias on Thursday in the night game at Safeco Field.
The team comes into the game hitting well at sixth ranked in batting and seventh in runs this season, but the pitching has not been consistent and they rank near the bottom of the league in most categories. The team is ranked 28th in ERA this year and they are 28th in WHIP and they are looking to get things going on Wednesday against the Rangers and now Adam Dunn likely will not be pitching in this game after he was used on Tuesday night and he did okay considering the situation.
