The Chicago White Sox are favorites this afternoon as they look to complete their fourth series sweep on the season against the Detroit Tigers.
Detroit is labouring, with just two wins in its last 12, as they dwell in the AL Central basement. They’ve already been swept five times this season.
My Tigers vs White Sox predictions and MLB picks have this as Chicago’s sixth sweep, with their hot bats lighting up Detroit’s Keider Montero.
Who will win Tigers vs White Sox today: White Sox -1.5 (+166)
Keider Montero's four-game losing streak isn't a coincidence. He's failed to reach the sixth inning in three straight starts, and the underlying issue is a growing reliance on fastballs and sinkers after losing trust in his slider, which he's throwing just 16% of the time.
That has made him far more predictable, and hitters are responding with a 90.7 mph average exit velocity.
That's a bad recipe against a Chicago White Sox lineup that ranks sixth in slugging and has already piled up 19 hits and four homers in this series.
I expect Chicago's power edge to show again and would play the run line up to -2.5.
COVERS INTEL: The White Sox are fourth in the majors in home runs, and that’s due to a vast improvement in batted balls that are pulled in the air (19.2%). Pulled air balls are the most valuable type, and Chicago is currently eighth in the league in that category.
Tigers vs White Sox Over/Under pick: Over 7.5 (-120)
The White Sox have cashed eight the Over eight times in their last 10 games, as their pitching staff has been bailed out by a good hitting lineup.
Sean Burke's last four starts have all ended in losses, and all four games produced at least eight total runs.
Detroit's offense hasn't been reliable, but the Tigers don't need to do all the heavy lifting, as its pitching staff has allowed 5+ runs in five of the last eight games, repeatedly forcing totals upward regardless of opponent.
I expect another game that threatens double-digit runs and would play the Over up to 9.5 runs.
