The White Sox are terrible in the role of road underdog. That's the position they find themselves in today against the Rays. The White Sox have lost 41 of the past 53 times (23 percent) as an away underdog.

The White Sox are in bad form, too, losing seven of their last nine games. Tampa Bay has won three in a row.

Rays starter Drew Rasmussen has been solid with a 5-2 mark and 3.47 ERA. Chicago's Dylan Cease is a big strikeout pitcher, who can dominate weaker lineups but has problems against good offenses. The Yankees and Red Sox, for instance, got to him for 13 runs in a combined seven innings. Cease also walks too many batters.
