Preview

The Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers will meet again to play a 4-game series at the Guaranteed Rate Field. The Tigers swept the Guardians in their last series while the White Sox lost 2 of 3 times against the Twins but are 5-1 against the Tigers this season.

Chicago White Sox

The White Sox get here with a 39-41 record and have won 4 of their last 6 games. The team is averaging 4.2 runs per game and allowing 4.83 runs. Jose Abreu leads with 10 home runs and 38 RBI while Andrew Vaughn is batting for .300 avg.

Dylan Cease leads the team with a 2.51 ERA, 125 strikeouts and 7 wins recorded.

Probable Pitcher: Dylan Cease (7-3, 2.51 ERA)

Cease will be on the mound in the 1st game of the series for the White Sox. Cease earned the win in Saturday's 5-3 win over San Francisco, allowing one run on four hits and three walks while striking out four batters in five innings. He has a 10-0 record with an ERA of 1.91 and 75 strikeouts in 11 appearances versus the Tigers in his career.

Detroit Tigers

The Tigers get here with a 34-47 record and have won 5 of their last 6 games. The team is averaging 3.20 runs per game and allowing 4.22 runs. Miguel Cabrera leads the team batting for .308 AVG, 3 home runs and 31 RBI.

Tarik Skubal leads the pitching staff with a 4.06 ERA, 90 strikeouts and 5 wins recorded.

Probable Pitcher:  Beau Brieske (1-6, 4.54 ERA)

Brieske will be on the mound in the 1st game of the series for the Tigers. Brieske didn't factor into the decision during Saturday's 4-3 victory over Kansas City, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks with three strikeouts in six innings. He hasn't pitched against the White Sox in his career.

BETTING TRENDS

Detroit Tigers are 3-15 SU in their last 18 games when playing on the road against Chi White Sox.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Detroit's last 7 games played on a Thursday when on the road.

The total has gone OVER in 5 of Chi White Sox's last 7 games against an opponent in the American League Central Division division.

Chicago White Sox are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games.

Prediction

Surprisingly the Tigers swept the Guardians in their last series but they have struggled against the White Sox as they have lost 15 of the last 18 head to head games. They'll face Dylan Cease whi has absolutely dominated them in his career and is holding a 10-0 record with a 1.91 ERA against them. The White Sox have been up and down this season but scored 9 runs in his last game vs Twins. They'll face Brieske who has struggled this season and the Tigers are 4-9 in his 13 starts. Expect another dominant performance from Cease and the White Sox to win this game.

PICK:  White Sox -1.5 (-120)
