The Chicago White Sox (49-33) and Detroit Tigers (37-46) play the finale of a three-game set Sunday at Comerica Park. First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox vs. Tigers odds with MLB picks and predictions.
RHP Lucas Giolito is the projected starting pitcher for the White Sox. He is 6-5 with a 3.84 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 10.7 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 in 93 2/3 IP over 16 starts.
Giolito enters with quality starts in each of his past four outings, although his only victory during the span was his last time out Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins. He is 0-2 with a 4.58 ERA with four walks and 25 strikeouts in 19 2/3 innings across three starts against the Tigers in 2021.
RHP Matt Manning is the projected starting pitcher for the Tigers. He is 1-2 with an 8.16 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 3.8 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in 14 1/3 IP over three starts.
Manning was trampled for nine earned runs, nine hits with no walks and two strikeouts across 3 2/3 innings in a loss at the Cleveland Indians Monday. This will be his first career appearance against the White Sox.

Money line (ML)
The WHITE SOX (-200) look for the bounce-back game after the Tigers (+165) surprised them 11-5 in Saturday’s middle game. The loss snapped a five-game win streak for Chicago, although they’re still 9-2 across the past 11 against Detroit.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The WHITE SOX -1.5 (-120) are the lean here, even though Giolito has had his issues topping the Tigers +1.5 (+100) this season. However, it’s more a lack of offensive support rather than anything he is doing, as is evidenced by his outstanding 25/4 strikeouts-to-walks ratio against Detroit this season.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 8.5 (-120) is the slight lean here, as Manning was very giving last time out against the Indians. The White Sox will be looking to take out some frustrations after an embarrassing rout Saturday.
The Over is a perfect 6-0 in the past six for the ChiSox, and 37-15-4 in the past 56 meetings between these two AL Central rivals in Detroit.
