The Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers meet Monday in MLB action at Comerica Park.
The Chicago White Sox need a win after losing four of their last five games. The White Sox have scored seven runs in their last three games and three or less runs in five of their last six games. The White Sox are 3-6 this season when scoring three or less runs. Yoan Moncada leads the White Sox with 19 hits and six RBI while Luis Robert and Jose Abreu have combined for 36 hits and 15 RBI. Dallas Keuchel gets the ball, and he is 2-1 with a 2.55 ERA and 11 strikeouts this season. Keuchel is 4-2 with a 4.05 ERA and 37 strikeouts in his career against the Tigers.
The Detroit Tigers look for another victory after winning six of their last nine games. The Tigers have scored 30 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last 10 games. The Tigers are 8-3 this season when scoring more than one run. JaCoby Jones leads the Tigers with 13 hits and 10 RBI while Jonathan Schoop and Miguel Cabrera have combined for 23 hits and 16 RBI. Michael Fulmer gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 13.50 ERA and two strikeouts this season. Fulmer is 2-1 with a 3.17 ERA and 33 strikeouts in his career against the White Sox.
The White Sox are 5-2 in their last 7 games as a favorite, 6-0 in their last 6 road games and 4-0 in their last 4 games as a road favorite. The Tigers are 16-37 in their last 53 during game 1 of a series, 10-26 in their last 36 Monday games and 16-56 in their last 72 home games. The under is 4-1-1 in White Sox last 6 overall. The under is 5-1 in Tigers last 6 home games. The White Sox are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Detroit and 11-4 in the last 15 meetings.
Keuchel is showing signs of returning to what he was back in his Houston days, allowing 15 hits and five runs in 17.2 innings while striking out 11 and only walking two. Fulmer has only 2.2 innings under his belt this season, and he gave up five hits and four runs during that span. Considering he missed all of last season, it may take Fulmer time to get back in decent form. The Chicago White Sox are also due for a victory given the week they had, and I’m also not convinced the Tigers can keep piling up these wins.
Give me the White Sox and the reasonable price.
