Detroit Tigers vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Tigers here. I don’t love Chris Paddack in this Tigers rotation and he did get hit fairly hard in his last start. However, the Tigers are playing the better baseball right now and while the White Sox salvaged something from their series against Cleveland, the Tigers are the better team that’s in need of the win here with the Guardians breathing down their necks. I’ll roll with Detroit to draw first blood here.
