Detroit Tigers vs Chicago White Sox Prediction 

Detroit has picked up wins in the first two games of this series and they are getting closer to the .500 mark on the season. The Tigers are 33-34 on the road, while the White Sox are 18-46 on the road. Chicago has been awful this season and their pitching staff cannot be trusted. Detroit is dealing with quite a few injuries to their pitching staff and they use a lot of bullpen games, but they have been very solid with their pitching. I have to continue fading the White Sox, so my Detroit Tigers vs Chicago White Sox prediction is for Detroit to win.
