Chicago White Sox vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

I’ll stay with Detroit but I’m not touching this one. The line is insanely thick here, in part because Skubal is pitching well lately. Over his last three starts he’s got just four earned runs in 19.0 innings. Skubal is 2-0 in that trio. As for Bush, he’s 0-2 in his last three starts but hasn’t been too bad overall with 14.2 innings and six earned runs.

On Friday the Tigers had a nice bullpen outing with 4.0 innings, three hits, no walks and three Ks. Detroit should be in great shape Saturday. I’m staying away from this one due to the crazy line, but it might be worth trying Chicago on a value play.
