Tigers vs White Sox Prediction
Detroit was able to jump out to a big lead in game one of this series and coast to the win, and they will look to get back to .500 with another win here. The Tigers’ pitching staff hasn’t been great to start the season, but they are starting Reese Olson, who should have a bounce-back performance after a rough first start. The White Sox have allowed 21 runs in their last three games and will face a Detroit lineup that has been pretty solid so far this season. We saw plenty of scoring in game one of this series, and with Chicago struggling to get outs, I like the over once again here.
