White Sox vs Tigers Prediction

The Tigers are coming into this game not playing very well recently or this season but they have been a pretty good team at home where they are in this series. They have a rookie on the mound here in Faedo but he has been pitching well this season and could give the White Sox some trouble here. They are going up against a White Sox team that has been playing much better recently, winning more games and they have really been scoring a lot more runs as well as their offense is heating up. They do not have the best pitching staff though and no matter how well their starting pitcher is throwing, their bullpen has blown many games for them and they always put them at risk to lose every game. The Tigers have a guy who has been pretty good this season and they will likely take advantage of the bad pitching by the White Sox here. The best bet here is on the Tigers to win this game.
