Chicago White Sox vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
This has a chance to be a fun early game with two promising pitchers on the mound. Through 42.1 innings, Newcomb has a 2.76 ERA and 1.04 WHIP, while Melton has a 2.81 ERA and 1.01 WHIP through 25.2 innings. The difference is the WHite Sox have been more consistent and have been profitable due to oddsmakers not showing them respect in the market. The Tigers have underachieved all season and don’t string wins together. I’ll gladly side with the White Sox and the more favorable price.
