The Chicago White Sox close out their homestand and their series against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night.

After dropping a makeup game to Atlanta, the Sox took two of three from the Mets and now have a rubber match against Texas tonight.

Meanwhile, the Rangers have won four of their last six games but fell back under .500 with last night’s loss.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Rangers vs. White Sox on Wednesday, Aug. 26.

Rangers vs. White Sox Best MLB Prop Bets

White Sox Best MLB Prop Bet

• Randal Grichuk OVER 1.5 Bases (+140)

Randal Grichuk is a platoon player at this point in his career, but he’s one of the best sluggers against left-handed pitchers this season. He’s batting .320 with a 1.017 OPS vs. LHP, going 42 for 128 with nine home runs and 16 doubles.

Grichuk has gone OVER 1.5 bases in each of his last five starts, including a home run in each of his last two times in the starting lineup. He’s also 5 for 9 against Gore in his career.

Rangers vs. White Sox Prediction and Pick

This total feels a bit low tonight in Chicago.

Gore should be able to keep Chicago’s bats quiet for a handful of innings, but I don’t exactly trust the Texas bullpen behind him. And Burke has been hittable recently for the White Sox.

After the teams combined for 31 runs through two games in this series – with each team putting up an 11 spot –, I’ll happily take the OVER tonight in Chicago.

Pick: OVER 8 (-107)
