White Sox vs Tigers Prediction

The White Sox are coming into this game playing very inconsistently in their recent games. They will go on a mini winning streak then a mini losing streak but they have been struggling to put together long streaks this season. They have been missing some key players in their lineup as well but their bats have also started to heat up in their recent games without those players. Things could be turning around for the White Sox here and with the bullpen being so awful this season, they need to take advantage of these games where they have a solid starter on the mound. Cueto is starting here and he has been very good this season, slipping up in a couple starts but overall he has been very good. They are going up against a Tigers team that has been playing well recently and has also been good at home this season but is still one of the bottom teams in their division and the MLB in general. They also have Rony Garcia starting here who has not had many appearances in his career in the MLB but his few starts have not been that great either. The White Sox need to start getting in gear and if they want to still have a chance at this division, these are the kinds of team they need to beat, especially with this pitching matchup. The best bet here is on the White Sox to win this game.
