Chicago White Sox vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
I might try the Sox here. Crochet has a couple of good appearances under his belt in his most recent pair. During those outings, Crochet is 0-1 but he’s got just one earned on four hits and no walks in 8.0 total frames. He could at least flirt with a quality start in this one.
On Thursday the Sox posted 12 team hits in a very nice offensive outing—despite all the runs coming in a single inning. Four different players had multiple hits, and the pitching staff was quite good overall as well. Chicago officially has a winning streak after the sweep, which is almost difficult to believe after the season they’ve had.
Andrew’s Pick Chicago White Sox +139
