White Sox vs Tigers Prediction
Chicago was able to pick up a nice win on Tuesday in game two of this series and they will look for a rare series win here. The White Sox are 26-35 at home this year, while the Tigers are 30-28 on the road. Detroit continues their slide and they are starting Montero, who has allowed 12 earned runs in his last three outings. Chicago is starting Smith, who has allowed two earned runs in three straight starts, but doesn’t go very deep into games. I don’t like the pitching matchup here, so I will take the over.
