The Chicago White Sox (79-76, 45-32 Home) will go for the series win today when they host the Detroit Tigers (73-83, 34-46 Away) at Rate Field in the Windy City. First Pitch for this AL Central matchup is scheduled for 2:10 p.m. EST with coverage via MLB.TV.
Chicago won the series opener on Thursday and again yesterday, 3-1. But the Detroit lineup outhit the White Sox in the Friday contest, getting a much-needed 11-8 win. Seven back of the Guardians in the division race, this game effectively serves as an elimination game in that regard, but not quite for the Wild Card yet (where they are six back).
A solid outing from Troy Melton on the mound will go a long way towards getting that much-needed win. Melton has had some issues this month (7.24 ERA) but has been solid when pitching on the road (3-2 in 10 starts with a 2.28 ERA and .200 OBA).
At the same time, the White Sox will be looking for a solid outing from Davis Martin to help out their struggling lineup (.202 BA over the last week; an MLB worst). Martin has done his best work at home, where he is 5-2 in 13 starts with a 3.09 ERA and a .232 OBA.

Our Chicago White Sox vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
Detroit has not been eliminated yet, but let’s be real—it’s pretty unlikely they make the postseason. Chicago, on the other hand, still has a shot at the division title, but you wouldn’t know it with how they’ve been hitting. To be fair, while they are hitting an MLB-worst .202 over the last week, they’ve still generated 31 runs (tied for 8th best). But Melton had a solid outing against the White Sox earlier in the season and will have another one today, leading the Tigers to a win.
