Detroit at Chicago

The Tigers have plenty of offensive punch, seventh in baseball in runs scored, sixth in on base percentage. Detroit recorded nine extra-base hits in Tuesday's 11-8 victory. Tigers' starter Mike Pelfrey is a veteran who has thrown better on the road this season with a 3.86 ERA. The Tigers are on an 8-3 run, plus 24-8 after scoring five runs or more in their previous game. Detroit has as many road wins as slumping Chicago has at home. The White Sox (8-21 run) have fallen apart offensively, slumping to #19 in runs scored, #21 in OBP and #26 in slugging. Chicago lefty Chris Sale has endured a rocky stretch over his last four starts, 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA during the sub-par span. The White Sox are 5-11 vs. a team with a winning record, plus 5-17 against a right-handed starter, so grab the big dog and play Detroit.
