Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Chicago White Sox (49-32) and Detroit Tigers (36-46) play the second game of a three-game set Saturday at Comerica Park. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox at Tigers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Dallas Keuchel is the projected starting pitcher for the White Sox. He is 6-2 with a 3.96 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 5.5 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9 in 86 1/3 IP over 15 starts and 1 relief appearance.

Keuchel allowed six hits with a walk and four strikeouts across five relief innings last time out Saturday against the Mariners in his first relief appearance since Aug. 6, 2013.

The southpaw allowed just one earned run, five hits and a walk with three strikeouts over six innings in a no-decision against the Tigers June 4.

LHP Tarik Skubal is the projected starting pitcher for the Tigers. He is 4-7 with a 4.06 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 10.9 K/9 and 4.2 BB/9 in 77 2/3 IP over 14 starts and 2 relief appearances.

Skubal didn’t win last time out, but he had perhaps his best start of the season against the Houston Astros Sunday. He allowed just one run, one hit and three walks with nine strikeouts in the no-decision.

Skubal is 1-0 with a 3.27 ERA in two starts across 11 innings against the White Sox this season.

Prediction

White Sox 6, Tigers 4

Money line (ML)

The WHITE SOX (-120) look to win a sixth consecutive game, and they enter play on a 9-1 run against the Tigers (+100). Chicago is also 4-1 in Keuchel’s past five starts, and he has three victories during that span.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The WHITE SOX -1.5 (+125) are the play on the run line. They covered the run line in Friday’s series opener, an 8-2 win, and four of their five victories during their win streak have been by two or more runs. Seven of their nine wins over the Tigers have been by two or more runs, too.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 9 (-110) is the lean here. The Over has connected in four in a row for the White Sox, including Friday’s series opener, and the Over is also 4-0 in their past four against a left-handed starting pitcher.

While the Under has dominated for the Tigers lately, the Over is 35-15-4 in the previous 54 meetings between these teams in the Motor City.

Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Chicago White Sox (40-24) and Detroit Tigers (26-38) put a lid on a three-game AL Central series Sunday with a 1:10 p.m. ET first pitch at Comerica Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox vs. Tigers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Carlos Rodon is the projected starting pitcher for the White Sox. He is 5-2 with a 1.96 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, 13.3 K/9, and 2.3 BB/9 in 59 2/3 IP over 10 starts.

Rodon has held foes to 1 ER or less in eight of his 10 starts this season. That includes an April 29 gem against these Tigers where he went 6 IP allowing 1 ER on 2 H and 1 BB while adding 12 K.

RHP Kyle Funkhouser is the projected starter for the Tigers. He is 0-0 with a 2.70 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 7.6 K/9, and 3.8 BB/9 in 16 2/3 IP over 13 relief appearances.

Sunday’s tilt will mark Funkhouser’s first Major League start, where the righty is slated to be the opener in a bullpen game.

  • Money line: White Sox -240 (bet $240 to win $100) | Tigers +195 (bet $100 to win $195)
  • Against the spread/ATS: White Sox -2.5 (+100) | Tigers 2.5 (-120)
  • Over/Under: 9 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

White Sox 7, Tigers 4

Money line (ML)

The Pale Hose have taken the first two games of this series and have won 7 of 9 against Detroit this season.

Chicago is a lean here even with the big tag and Rodon likely being a tad overrated due to his surface ERA being aided by some generous rates around the margins. Prices over (-225) sometimes get artificially deflated because of bettors just not buying into 75% expected-win scenarios in a game with so much random fluctuation.

But the WHITE SOX (-240) against a Tigers club set to use their bad bullpen for the game is a workable play.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The 2-and-a-half-run line is worth a look for bettors who want to assume less risk. Chicago is the much better club all around and is playing good ball.

BACK THE WHITE SOX -2.5 (+100).

Over/Under (O/U)

TAKE OVER 9 (-115). Fading Rodon to a small degree mixes into a shaky plan for the Tigers, a good-hitting White Sox order, and a forecast of an outward-to-center breeze.

Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Chicago White Sox (39-24) and Detroit Tigers (26-37) play the middle game of a three-game AL Central series Saturday with a 4:10 p.m. ET first pitch at Comerica Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox vs. Tigers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Dylan Cease is the projected starting pitcher for the White Sox. He is 4-2 with a 3.36 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 11.4 K/9, and 4.1 BB/9 in 61 2/3 IP over 12 starts.

Cease is coming off a nice start against these same Tigers (7 scoreless innings, 1 BB, 10K), and he has two scoreless outings against Detroit this season. Cease has two quality starts in his last 3 games.

RHP Jose Urena is the projected starter for the Tigers. He is 2-5 with a 4.25 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 5.5 K/9, and 3.6 BB/9 in 59 1/3 IP over 11 starts.

Urena is facing Chicago for the second start in a row, and in 12 IP against them this season has fanned just three batters. He only allowed 4 ER over those starts, but he was aided by allowing little damage on balls in play.

  • Over/Under: 9.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Prediction

White Sox 5, Tigers 3

Money line (ML)

Chicago is a “lean” in principle on the ML, but any profit potential looks to be drowned out by the juice here. A solid comparative-to-the-market price can be found on the run line.  PASS.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Taking the favorite against the spread in a game with an Under lean takes an attractive price. The tag here fits the bill in a game where the visitors have a solid edge on the mound and in overall quality.

BACK THE WHITE SOX -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under (O/U)

The weather forecast sets this one up as a low-humidity, breeze-in-from-left contest. In a market all over the map on this total, the price here is attractive on the Under.

TAKE UNDER 9.5 (-110).

Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Chicago White Sox (38-24) and Detroit Tigers (26-36) swing into a three-game AL Central series Friday at 7:10 p.m. ET at Comerica Park. 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 5-5 with a 3.88 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 11.2 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 in 69 2/3 IP over 12 starts. Giolito is making his second straight start against the Tigers, a club with an .843 OPS against him this season.

LHP Tarik Skubal is the projected starter for the Tigers. He is 3-7 with a 4.33 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 11.3 K/9 and 4.3 BB/9 in 54 IP over 12 appearances, including 10 starts. Skubal is coming off an 11-strikeout performance against these White Sox Saturday. The Bengal southpaw has logged a 3.27 ERA in 44 career innings at Comerica.

  • Against the spread/ATS: White Sox -1.5 (+100) | Tigers +1.5 (-120)
  • Over/Under: 9 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Prediction

White Sox 4, Tigers 3

Money line (ML)

The Pale Hose took 3 of 4 from the Tigers last week and are 10-4 in their last 14 games overall. The Tigers are playing their best ball of the season. They are 7-5 (with a .760 OPS) over their last dozen games.

Detroit is a lean-in-principle on the ML, but any profit potential looks to be drowned out by the juice here. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Detroit is solid against Giolito’s staple pitch, the change-up, and seeing him twice in a week doesn’t hurt that advantage angle.

The White Sox recent success has been very much earned on home turf. Chicago is just 1-5 over its last five road games and could be caught flat-footed in the opener of a road trip after 14 of its previous 17 games were at home.

BACK THE TIGERS +1.5 (-120) in a contest with some Under tilt.

Over/Under (O/U)

The weather forecast sets this one up as a low-humidity, breeze-in-from-left evening. Peg both starters as better than what’s indicated by their surface ERAs. Chicago has the better bullpen, but Detroit’s relief corps is at its best against right-handed batters and there figures to be a big contingent of righty hitters lined up against Skubal.

TAKE UNDER 9 (-115).
