Detroit Tigers vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction
I’m on the Tigers here. It’s just at a point right now where betting on the White Sox just doesn’t hold much water and I don’t envision that changing here against the Tigers who continue to find a way and who continue to show up and hold the best record in baseball because of it. Smith has been the brightest spot for the White Sox this season but it hasn’t resulted in a ton of wins with him on the bump and I don’t see it happening here either. Give me the Tigers here.
