The Detroit Tigers will have their work cut out for them tonight when they travel to Guaranteed Rate Field for a 3-game set with the AL Central leading Chicago White Sox. Right off the bat it won’t be easy for Detroit because Chicago has their ace, Lucas Giolito, slated for Game 1. Giolito, who has a no hitter under his belt this year, is 4-2 with a 3.29 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP. He was dominant in his last outing against the Tigers when he pitched 7 scoreless innings, yielding just 3 hits with 13 Ks. The Tigers are expected to start Casey Mize, who is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA, a 1.79 WHIP, and with the way the White Sox crush the ball, it could be a long night for the rookie. Chicago has dominated Detroit this year, winning 6 straight, and during that span they outscored them, 46-18.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CHICAGO WHITE SOX
