Tigers vs White Sox Prediction

The current betting odds have the White Sox listed as a big favorite in this game. They have not been playing well recently as they have lost 4 of their last 5 games but they still have a chance to split this series and turn things around here. The Tigers have been very hot winning 6 straight games but they have not been a good team on the road this season and they are not going to keep up these great performances in their games when they have one of the worst offenses in the MLB. The White Sox are also starting Kopech here and he has been a solid starter for them all season as he does not allow many runs in his starts. He is coming off of a bad start in his last game but those have been very rare for him this season and he is likely to bounce back here at home with a better performance against this bad lineup. He will keep the Tigers from scoring here while the White Sox offense should be picking up soon as it is getting healthier. These are games that the White Sox need to win and they will snap out of their slump here. The best way to place a bet here is on the White Sox to win this game.

Notable Quotes

 
"You want to contribute, you want to be in the lineup every single day. You want to produce. This is the big leagues. We've got to produce. We've got to win ballgames. We've got to perform. And that's what we're working really hard to do." - Jeimer Candelario after their win against the White Sox on Friday.
 
 
"I've got to give us a better chance there. I was doing well and then I put us right in a hole that our offense had to try to climb out of and they gave it a hell of a shot. But I can't let that get out of hand. I did." - Lucas Giolitto after their loss against the Tigers on Friday.
