With Martín Pérez holding a solid ERA of 2.16, he could still be challenged by the Tigers’ lineup, which ranks 7th in batting average this season. The White Sox’s recent ability to score runs against the Tigers suggests potential for a high-scoring game.
The Detroit Tigers, despite their recent struggles, possess a potent offensive lineup, ranking 8th in home runs. Tarik Skubal, with a 2.18 ERA, is a formidable pitcher, but the White Sox have shown they can score against quality pitching. Given Detroit’s recent games trending towards overs, there’s reason to expect another high-scoring affair.
Head-to-head matchups between these teams have leaned toward higher scores, with the last meeting ending in a 7-5 result. The Tigers have seen the total go over in 22 of their games with a line of 7.5 or less, indicating a trend that favors the over in this matchup. Considering the offensive capabilities and recent trends, the over 7.5 looks promising.
With both teams having demonstrated the ability to score and the total set at 7.5, the likelihood of an over is strong. A projected final score of Tigers 5 – White Sox 4 supports this pick, suggesting a competitive game with enough runs to surpass the set total.
