Chicago White Sox vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
I’ve still got to go with the Tigers. I’m not touching this one, though. Cannon has struggled over his last two starts, giving up eight earned on 13 hits and four walks combined over 10.2 innings. It’s worth noting that Cannon did get a win August 6 versus Oakland with one earned in 6.0 frames, though.
On Saturday the Tigers got off to a hot start on the way to 14 team hits. Detroit did give up 12 hits on the other side, but the damage was pretty well contained. With such a big early lead it hardly mattered anyway. I like the Tigers to keep it going Sunday.
