Detroit at Chicago

The White Sox have split the first two games with the Tigers in this series to maintain their two-game lead. This race is for one team, as the team that finishes second in the Central is going to likely be shutout of the playoffs. Max Scherzer has benefited from a lot of Tigers scoring in his starts, and despite a 3.85 ERA he is 15-6. Overall, his ERA has been a 1/2 run higher at home. The White Sox’s offense has delivered an average of 5 runs per game over their last seven, and have won 16 of their last 21 here vs. a winning team. The Tigers have had a lot of trouble when playing as a road favorite from -110 to -150 where they are a money-burning 7-22 in their last 29. Play on the White Sox in this one.
