BETTING TRENDS

Detroit Tugers are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games on the road.

Detroit Tigers are 5-15 SU in their last 20 games when playing on the road against Chi White Sox.

The total has gone OVER in 4 of Chi White Sox's last 6 games.

Chi White Sox are 2-8 SU in their last 10 games at home.

Prediction

The Tigers continue on a hot streak as they have won 6 straight games. They'll send Garrett Hill to the mound who has only 1 start this season but did a great job against the Guardians. The White Sox scored 5 runs in the second game of the series but weren't enough to beat the Tigers. Johnny Cueto will get the ball and he has done a decent job this season holding a 3.30 ERA so he can keep this game close enough for the Tigers to cover the run line. Detroit is 22-15 ATS on the road while the White Sox are 12-30 ATS on the road.

PICK:  Tigers +1.5 (-145)
