Chicago White Sox vs Detroit Tigers – 1:40 PM ET – Comerica Park (MLB.TV)

Starting Pitchers: Martín Pérez (CHW) vs Jackson Jobe (DET)
Moneyline: Tigers -225, White Sox +185
Over/Under: 7.5

Game Preview:

The Tigers go for the sweep in Sunday’s AL Central matinee after two straight wins over the slumping White Sox. Detroit has outscored Chicago 14-6 through the first two games and is now back to .500 (4-4) on the young season. The White Sox, meanwhile, continue to struggle on both sides of the ball, falling to 2-6 after Saturday’s 7-2 defeat — their fourth straight loss.

Chicago turns to veteran lefty Martín Pérez, who was dominant in his season debut with six shutout innings against Minnesota. He posted a 0.50 WHIP in that outing and looked in midseason form, but he’ll now face a red-hot Tigers offense that has scored 28 runs over its last four games. The White Sox offense remains inconsistent, hitting just .217 as a team and ranking bottom-five in OBP (.277). Andrew Benintendi and Brooks Baldwin have carried the load, combining for three home runs and 11 RBIs, but the rest of the lineup has yet to catch fire.

Detroit will counter with 2023 first-round pick Jackson Jobe, who gave up 3 ER over 4.0 innings in his MLB debut. While the ERA (6.75) and WHIP (1.75) need work, the Tigers are betting on his stuff — a high-90s fastball and sharp slider. Against a White Sox team averaging just 3.6 runs per game, Jobe has a chance to settle in and pitch deeper in his second start. Detroit’s bullpen has been excellent lately, with three straight games allowing no earned runs in relief.

Offensively, the Tigers are hot. Riley Greene, Kerry Carpenter, and Gleyber Torres have all started fast — Greene has RBIs in five straight, and Carpenter has homered in three straight home games as a favorite. Detroit leads the AL Central in batting average (.274) and ranks third in OBP (.353). They’ve now won four of their last five and have covered the run line in four straight at Comerica Park.

Best Bet: Tigers -1.5 (+110)

The White Sox are in a nosedive and have failed to cover the run line in 8 of their last 9 as road underdogs in division play. Detroit’s offense is too hot to ignore, and their bullpen advantage gives them a clear edge in the later innings. Jobe should be sharper in his second start, and the White Sox have trailed after the 3rd inning in each of their last three games. This is one of the more reliable MLB best bets today with plus-money value.

Top Player Prop: Riley Greene to Record an RBI (+125)

Greene has an RBI in five straight games vs AL opponents and continues to anchor the middle of the Tigers' lineup. With Chicago likely trailing early and Jobe keeping the pressure off Detroit’s bats, Greene should get RBI chances again. Facing a lefty starter won’t be a concern — he’s hitting both sides well and is one of the better-value MLB player props today.
