MLB - Chicago White Sox @ Texas Rangers ESPN 6pm

If not actually rebuilding, the White Sox are trying to reinvigorate and regather their side under new rookie manager Robin Ventura. After losing Mark Buehrle, Sergio Santos and Carlos Quentin and seeing their established players under-perform last season, it may be a significant task.

I like Texas for the AL West, they will put up big numbers on offense (and have added bats including Nelson Cruz) and made a nice move signing Yu Darvish.

Today, Texas are best price 1.56 and with this pitching matchup, I can't have them. Colby Lewis has had success against the White Sox, but sports a 5.93 ERA against them lifetime. John Danks has just signed a big contract and will be looking to show he's worth $65 million over five-years.

Danks has a 3.81 ERA against Texas, and although it's a tough ask, Chicago look a live chance at 2.75 with him on the mound.

Pick: Chicago White Sox @ 7/4; 2.75; 175
