Detroit Tigers vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
The Tigers continue to underachieve with all of this losing, and they’ve been at their worst on the road, where they’re 8-22. Valdez is also having a rough May, allowing 21 hits and 14 earned runs in 20.2 innings. No, thanks. Kay has allowed 22 hits and 6 earned runs in his last 27.1 innings, and the White Sox have won 7 of his last 10 outings. Oddsmakers still aren’t buying the White Sox, but they keep winning games. I’ll gladly take the more favorable price with the White Sox at home.
