The Texas Rangers and the Chicago White Sox will play the second game of their 3-game set tonight in Arlington. The 61-46 Rangers were definitely buyers at the trade deadline, and they mean business.

He is 8-4 with a 3.28 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. The 43-65 White Sox are expected to counter with Dylan Cease, and he is no slouch. Cease comes in at 4-4 with a 4.15 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP. The Rangers are 35-20 at Globe Life Field and have the edge in runs per game, run differential, batting average, hits, homers, and the list goes on.
