The Chicago White Sox will start Jose Contreras in game two of their doubleheader vs. the Tigers. Contreras will be 38-years-old before the year ends, but many feel he is much older than that. Despite the disagreement, he is pitching like he is much older. He has made six starts for the White Sox on the season, and they are 0-6 having been outscored 50-17! Contreras has been so bad that he was demoted to the minors, and this is likely a spot start, as the White Sox need an arm for the twin bill. The Tigers will regain the services of Jeremy Bonderman, who had shoulder surgery, and his rehab went well in AAA Toledo where he pitched to a 3.15 ERA in 20 innings. It’s hard to get anywhere near Contreras and the White Sox right now, so I’m going with the Tigers in this one. NOTE: THIS IS A GAME 2 PICK IN THE DOUBLEHEADER.
