The Chicago White Sox face a must win home game agisnt the Detroit Tigers at Rate Field on Friday night, as they attempt to keep pace with the Cleveland Guardians in the American League Central title race.

Following Chicago's narrow 3-1 win in Thursday's series opener, just one game separates the White Sox from the Guardians. However, Cleveland are in the midst of a relatively soft-looking series against the A's, so defeat for Chicago on Friday could put a severe dent in their title aspirations. 

It won't be an easy task for the White Sox at Rate Field, as despite last night's loss, Detroit have won six of their last eight games and are playing some of their best ball of the season. Unfortunately for the Tigers, they are already out of postseason contention, so are merely playing the role of spoiler for the remaining two weeks of the regular season.

Our Chicago White Sox vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

Detroit have been a tough nut to crack in recent weeks, but based on the rotation and their urgent need for a win, we are backing the White Sox to record a vital victory.
