The Tigers will look to close out the series with a win over the White Sox as they chase the top spot in the American League. They should get some good swings at Davis on Sunday, given that Davis has modest strikeout numbers this season. Tigers’ starter Morton remains an above-average strikeout pitcher, even at this stage of his career. He’ll benefit from pitching behind a team that is one of the best daytime teams in baseball. The Tigers are 34-21 during the day this season and have a team batting average over .260 in the sunlight. The Tigers are also 45-28 at home entering play on Saturday, while the White Sox are 22 games below .500 on the road.
