The Tigers made a stretch drive winning 14 of their last 21, but they couldn't overcome their lackluster second half. Kenny Rogers has pitched well since returning from the DL, not allowing more than three earned runs in any of his four starts, and that bodes ominous for the White Sox who are MLB's worst team against LHP. The White Sox have no business being favored against a port-sider, as they are a unit burning 15-27 against LHP, and have coughed up 12.16 units to their backers on the season. Javier Vasquez has pitched admirably, but the White Sox are just 7-18 in their last 25 against teams with a winning record on the season, and the White Sox overall have a losing record in his starts against teams .500+. We like the Tigers in a dog role here over a team that hasn't produced all season against LHP.
