Detroit’s sensational rookie, Michael Fulmer, takes the hill tonight on the south side when they play the second game of a 4 game set against the Chicago White Sox. Fulmer is 9-2 on the season, with an ERA of 2.13. Over his last 10 starts, he has an incredible ERA of 0.69 and that is not a typo. Detroit is 11-1 in Fulmer’s last 12 starts and 6-2 in their last 8 meetings with Chicago. Jacob Turner, the ex-Tiger and Detroit’s overall 9th round selection in the 2009 Draft, gets the nod for the White Sox tonight and he has not lived up to his billing. He is 0-1, with an inflated ERA of 18.02 and was drilled by the Angels on Sunday, yielding 8 runs on 7 hits in 4 innings of work. Chicago is 1-7 in their last 8 outings and probably have thrown the towel in for the 2016 campaign.
Tonight’s pick:
Detroit Tigers
