Tigers vs White Sox MLB Betting Preview
Editor’s Note: This written best bet is a transcription from today’s episode of the Payoff Pitch Podcast.
I don’t love Erick Fedde, but the White Sox bullpen is relatively rested.
They also do a good job not overexposing middling starters like Fedde, typically using an opener in front of them or pulling them early. Chicago has enough bullpen depth behind Fedde to do what it wants to.
If I were only using pre-season projections, I would project the Tigers as the much-better offense against right-handed pitching. However, I’ve upgraded my projections on the White Sox substantially because of their performance so far.
Additionally, the White Sox are the better base-running team.
I’ve always been high on Troy Melton, but he’s still coming back from an elbow injury sustained in Spring Training, and I’m wondering if the Tigers are bringing him back a bit early in the wake of the Tarik Skubal injury — Detroit really needs innings.
All that to say, I don’t think Melton is fully healthy.
Tigers vs White Sox Pick, Betting Analysis
Ultimately, I project the White Sox as -110 moneyline favorites.
Pick: White Sox ML (-102 or Better)
