Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers Odds, Picks & Predictions

He Chicago White Sox (21-30) and detroit tigers (22-25) meet Thursday to open a 4-game series at Comerica Park. The first launch is scheduled for 6:40 pm ET. Let’s break down the FanDuel Sportsbook lines around the White Sox vs. Tigers odd and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season Series: First Meeting; Chicago won last year’s series 12-7

The White Sox opened a 7 game road trip by winning 2 of 3 games at the Cleveland Guardians. Chicago is 5-1 in its last 6 games, thanks in large part to the 1.36 ERA and 0.75 WHIP its pitchers have posted during that span.

Detroit won 2 of 3 games against the Kansas City Royals in a Monday-Wednesday set in KC. The Tigers have hit just .215 with runners in scoring position (RISP), but that’s coupled with a .255 batting average on balls in play (BABIP), so they’re a group that could make it out of the last 5 of MLB in scoring (3.66 runs per game, 27) with some normalized results.

White Sox on Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 4, Tigers 3

money line

Chicago had a tough opening month with a tough schedule and it may be better than we thought. A 12-10 record against foes .500 and under bears out that thought.

Detroit is 8-4 in 1-run games, usually an indicator of regression when it’s out of whack with overall winning percentage, and its bullpen could use a bad day. The ChiSox pen has done well taking ground balls while avoiding hard contact and his .317 BABIP and high rate of flies landing as home runs (15.1%) are indicators that his surface ERA (5.19) is headed into days. top.

Giolito and that bullpen facing a Detroit offense that struggles against right-handed pitching gives Chicago a winning percentage that should be around 60%. Consider a game of partial unity in the WHITE SOCKS (-142). Go in full at -140 or better.

Running line/Against the spread

Chicago’s offense has a .652 OPS since May 10 and hasn’t built up the confidence to work this play on the running line. APPROVE.
