Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is only batting .167 against Cease, but also has two solo home runs.
Tigers vs White Sox Prediction
Lorenzen is 1-0 with a 2.79 ERA in seven career appearances against Chicago. That’s overwhelmed, though by Cease’s stellar career stats against Detroit.
Over Detroit ‘s last 14 games, the Tigers have scored at least five runs seven times. They’ve allowed five runs in nine games in the same span.
In baseball parlance, let’s turn a double play here. Take the White Sox in the moneyline and the over on the total. In fact, should you play a $10 same-game parlay on these outcomes at odds of +221, a winning wager would pay $32.12.
Tigers vs White Sox Picks: Chicago White Sox ML (-165); Over 8.5 runs (+100).
