Chicago White Sox vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
The White Sox are piling up the wins this week, and it makes them worth a look here as well with an all-star on the mound. Smith isn’t winning games much due to a lack of run support, but he’s allowed 19 hits and 10 runs in his last 33.2 innings. Flaherty hasn’t been himself lately, which includes allowing 35 hits and 20 earned runs in his last 32.2 innings. The Tigers have lost 5 of Flaherty’s last 6 starts. This winning stretch for the White Sox won’t last much longer, but I’ll take a stab with them for one more game.
