The Detroit Tigers keep rolling and consider them again tonight. They just completed a 3-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays, have now won 5 straight, and 9 of their last 10. Tonight they welcome in the Chicago White Sox who will go down as one of the worst teams to ever take the field. The 39-120 Sox have won 3 straight but that was against another pathetic team, the Los Angeles Angels. Tonight’s expected starter for Chicago is lefty Garrett Crochet and he can deliver, but it’s hard to win games when you pitch for the Chicago White Sox. Crochet is 6-12 but has a respectable 3.68 ERA and a WHIP of only 1.06. Detroit and Kansas City are still tied for the second and third Wild Card spots. This is a perfect situation for Detroit to pull ahead. Weather permitting, the Royals will wrap up the season against the Braves in Atlanta. The Braves are still alive in the playoff hunt so it will not be an easy series for the Royals. The Tigers have yet to announce a starter for tonight’s game, but whoever it is, it shouldn’t matter.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DETROIT TIGERS
