White Sox vs. Tigers Picks
Money Line Pick for White Sox vs. Tigers
- Detroit Tigers ML (4 Units)
The Tigers have the edge here because they’re playing well offensively and scored 25 runs in their last three home games. The White Sox haven’t announced their starter for the game, and will likely turn to their bullpen, which will be a problem because they struggled in recent games, especially on the road, where they gave up 32 runs in their last four games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down Detroit’s hot bats.
The White Sox will have a hard time keeping up offensively because they’re not playing as well at the moment, scoring 12 runs in their last three road games. They’ve struggled against right-handers, and they’re going up against Melton, who gave up eight runs in his last four starts, so expect him to keep their offense in check. Take Detroit on the money line.
Over/Under Pick for White Sox vs. Tigers
- Under (4 Units)
The White Sox average 4.73 runs per game. They’re batting .238 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up one run in two starts against them. The Tigers average 4.07 runs per game. They’re batting .233 for the season, and they’re facing a team that is giving up 4.71 runs per game. Don’t expect these teams to score enough runs to push the score over the total. The Tigers and White Sox played under the total in two of their last three meetings.
