The White Sox<\/a> (23-47) are looking to break a three-game losing streak and are taking on the Rangers<\/a> (34-36), who took the series opener on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Rookie Mike Vasil, 25, will start on the mound for the South Siders. In 41 1\u20443 innings, Vasil has a 2.18 ERA but a 4.55 FIP, rendering him a 0.0-fWAR pitcher. Vasil\u2019s high walk rate (4.79 per nine innings) and unremarkable strikeout rate (6.10 per nine innings) contribute to the big difference between his ERA and FIP. Opponents are slashing only .201\/.320\/.309 against Vasil, but that has been assisted by some good luck on balls in play.<\/p>\n

The White Sox will face Jacob deGrom, 36. Although deGrom has had trouble staying healthy throughout his career, he has been dominant. Overall, deGrom has a 2.50 FIP and a 2.63 FIP in 1,443 1\u20443 innings, rendering him a 44.7-fWAR pitcher. This season, deGrom has a 2.12 ERA and a 3.42 FIP in 76 1\u20443 innings, and he has accumulated 1.6 fWAR. The White Sox are lucky to have only faced deGrom twice in his career. In those two starts, deGrom only allowed two runs in 14 innings, striking out 21.<\/p>\n

Here are today\u2019s starting lineups:<\/p>\n

This morning, the White Sox made the following roster changes:<\/p>\n

The first pitch is scheduled to happen at 3:05 p.m. Central.
