They enter this game with a 39-42 record overall and have a home record of 17-24. This is the 3rd game of a 4-game series with the Tigers on Saturday with the 2nd game still to be played on Friday. Their offense ranks 21st in the MLB with a .688 OPS. Lucas Giolito is on the mound on Friday while Johnny Cueto will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Saturday. He is 2-4 with a 3.30 ERA this season. His team lost 2 of their last 3 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 1 HR, and 5 BB with 3 Ks on 5 hits through 6 IP against the Minnesota Twins. 

The current betting odds have the White Sox listed as a favorite in this game. They have not been playing well recently and are coming off of a series loss in their last one, now opening up this series with a loss as well. The Tigers have been playing very well recently as they just swept the Guardians at home and have won 5 straight games now. The Tigers have not been as good a team on the road this season though and this should be a nice bounce back spot for the White Sox. The White Sox have Cueto starting here and he has been a solid option for them all season, pitching some very good games. He also has a lot more experience pitching in the MLB than the Tigers starter does as he is still a rookie and has not made many starts this season at all. He has only pitched in 1 MLB game before and his making his 2nd ever start here. He is coming off of a good performance in his last start but he is also facing a better lineup here and will likely have a rude awakening in the majors here. The best way to place a bet here is on the White Sox to win this game.
