Prediction
White Sox 6, Tigers 3
Money line (ML)
The White Sox have dropped three straight games to the Tigers after losing 4-3 Monday.
This is a winnable game for them with Anderson on the bump for Detroit. He’s not going to go deep into this game, and with Chicago’s bats, the White Sox should be able to get into the bullpen relatively early.
Bet the WHITE SOX (-170) to win outright.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
Yes, the White Sox have been bad against the spread lately, going just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. The Tigers, on the other hand, are 7-3 in that same stretch. Chicago should be able to put enough runs across to make up for Keuchel’s potential struggles on the road.
I like the WHITE SOX -1.5 (+100) to win by at least 2 runs.
Over/Under (O/U)
Keuchel showed some signs of turning things around in his last start, in allowing only 2 runs in 6 innings against the Los Angeles Angels.
Though he still hasn’t won a start since Aug. 16, and has just two victories since the middle of June, he’ll keep the Tigers in check.
Bet the UNDER 9.5 (-130).
