Prediction
The Tigers got something going on as they have won straight games and beat the White Sox with their best pitcher on the mound. The White Sox couldn't do much against Brieske and the Tigers bullpen as they scored only run in the 9th inning. Giolito will get the ball for this game who has been getting better lately allowing only 3 runs in 12 innings. On the other hand Skubal has struggled lately allowing 14 runs in his last 14 innings pitched. Expect the White Sox to bounce back and get this win.
