Chicago White Sox vs. Detroit Tigers preview
The Detroit Tigers arrive at Rate Field looking to extend their stranglehold over the White Sox, having won 15 of their last 20 meetings and 12 of 14 in Chicago. The AL Central leaders are dealing with significant injury issues, missing 11 pitchers plus key position players Parker Meadows and Matt Vierling, but they've still managed to build a commanding 24.5-game lead over their struggling division rivals. Chicago snapped a six-game skid on Sunday but remains mired in another dismal season, ranking near the bottom in virtually every offensive category while their pitching staff has allowed 527 runs. Jack Flaherty gets the nod for Detroit despite getting roughed up for five runs in his last outing, while the White Sox counter with Mike Vasil, who's posted a solid 2.39 ERA in limited action. The Tigers have been involved in high-scoring affairs lately, with the over hitting in their last six games, suggesting another offensive showcase at the South Side ballpark. With Detroit sitting eighth in runs scored and Chicago's pitching staff allowing nearly five runs per nine innings, this matchup could turn into another long night for White Sox fans.
