Detroit Tigers vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
Detroit comes into this matchup with their sights on the Wild Card round, as they clinched their playoff berth with a win on Friday night. The Tigers would play Baltimore with a win or a Royals loss, or they would play Houston with a loss and a Royals win. Detroit is 43-37 at home, while Chicago is just 17-63 on the road this season. Detroit has not announced their starting pitching plans for this game, as they will save Skubal for the playoffs. The White Sox are going with Jonathan Cannon, who has not been great in recent outings. I think we will see the Tigers refocused in this game and I like them to finish the regular season on a positive note. Take Detroit -1.5 here.
