He’s leading the AL in ERA (1.56), complete games (1), shutouts (1) and home runs per nine innings (0.1).

He’s unbeaten since April 18 and has gained the win in four of his last six trips to the mound. He allowed his first home run of the season in his last start June 5 against the Seattle Mariners. Perez was also touched for two earned runs in that game. That’s the first time he’s given up more than one earned run in a start since April 17.
Martín Pérez today posted his career-high 9th straight quality start (6.0+ IP, 3-or-fewer ER), tying the longest streak in club history. He is the 7th Ranger to accomplish the feat and 1st since Kyle Gibson in 2021.

Betting on this game, however, it’s hard not to like the Rangers. Perez’s continued dominance outweighs his passive past performances against the White Sox. Likewise, Giolito’s previous success against Texas is overshadowed by his 2022 struggles.
Pick: Texas Rangers RL +1.5 (-160)
