Prediction
White Sox 3, Tigers 2
Moneyline
The WHITE SOX (+200) are worth a roll in the dice in the finale, as they look to finish on a strong note as they ride off into the offseason to regroup.
The Tigers (-250) are into the postseason, and while they can change their seeding, they won’t be using one of their top pitchers, as they try to preserve the good arms for the playoffs.
Run line/Against the spread
If you’re a little more conservative, and you just can’t bring yourself to play Chicago straight up, the WHITE SOX +1.5 (-105) aren’t a bad play for a little insurance.
Chicago has picked up the pace with 4 wins in the past 5 games, as its young players to build some momentum heading into 2025.
Over/Under
UNDER 7.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.
The total has gone low in 6 in a row for the ChiSox, while going 9-0-1 in the past 10 outings. The Under has a slight 3-2-1 advantage in the past 6 starts for Cannon, too.
For the Tigers, the Under is 5-0-1 in the previous 6 contests, while cashing at an 11-3-1 clip in the past 15 outings.
