Detroit Tigers vs Chicago White Sox Pick
Chicago owns the better overall record, but Detroit has the advantage in Sundayβs starting matchup. Melton has been far more effective at keeping opponents off the scoreboard and has allowed considerably fewer baserunners than Martin. The White Sox starter has surrendered nearly 1 hit per inning and could have trouble navigating the Detroit lineup multiple times. Take the Tigers to capitalize on the pitching advantage and earn the road victory.
