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.

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.
