In this White Sox vs Tigers Prediction, the Tigers are coming as -145 home favorites. I like the Tigers in this one, as they have been red-hot lately with a 7-3 record in their last 10 games and will face a White Sox team that will be going for a bullpen game. Jackson Jobe’s only start for the Tigers has been a shutout and Detroit has both a better offense and a far better bullpen ERA in their last 10 games. Take the Tigers in this one.
