The Tigers are 39-82 in their last 121 Friday games and 0-5 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series. The under is 7-0 in White Sox last 7 overall. The over is 5-2 in Tigers last 7 overall. The White Sox are 7-1 in the last 8 meetings in Detroit and 44-19 in the last 63 meetings.
Randy’s Pick
This total is rather low when you consider the two pitchers on the mound. Lance Lynn has a 6.28 ERA and 1.47 WHIP through 57 innings, while Joey Wentz has an ERA over 7 and a 1.68 WHIP through 38 innings. Two pitchers in rough shape and two offenses that have been hot over the last two weeks. More than reasonable total. Give me the over in this spot.
