The Detroit Tigers own a 19-11 record over their last 30 games and are -150 favorites to grab another win tonight.
My White Sox vs. Tigers predictions and MLB picks are banking on Detroit's red-hot offense taking care of business against an underwhelming bullpen.
Who will win White Sox vs Tigers today: Detroit Tigers (-150)
The Detroit Tigers own one of the league’s hottest offenses, leading the majors in OBP and slotting ninth in ISO over the last three weeks.
They’re causing teams a world of problems, and that should continue against the Chicago White Sox. Their bullpen ranks 21st in xFIP on the season, which seems noteworthy when throwing a bullpen game.
Jackson Jobe limited the San Francisco Giants to two baserunners over five innings in his season debut. He should hold up against a White Sox offense hitting .209 vs. righties since July 24.
Back Detroit to -160.
COVERS INTEL: The Tigers are consistently making good contact, ranking second with a 22.4% line drive rate vs. righties the last month.
White Sox vs Tigers Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (+100)
The best way to avoid bulk scoring is limiting home runs, and I don’t see a ton in the cards.
The Tigers rank 25th in HR/FB at home over the past month. They have hit for average more than power in Detroit, and White Sox relievers own an 8.7% HR/FB over the same period – seventh lowest in the majors.
Meanwhile, the White Sox rank 25th in hard hit rate during the same period. Jobe limited hard contact exceptionally well in his only start, and he has an above average bullpen behind him.
Bet the Under to -115.
White Sox vs Tigers home run prediction: Munetaka Murakami (+260)
Jobe hammered the zone with fastballs in his only start, throwing it nearly 50% of the time against lefties.
That’s good news for Munetaka Murakami, who boasts a .419 ISO and has hit nine homers off the four-seam vs. right-handed pitching this season.
Isolating Jobe’s pitch mix, Murakami is sporting a 31.5% barrel rate and 68.4% hard hit rate over his last 20 batted ball events.
Murakami possesses elite power, and only needs one mistake to leave the yard. Bet to +245.
