Odds from Betonline.ag
The Detroit Tigers are coming in after getting a win over the severely slumping Chicago White Sox. Look for the White Sox to struggle to snap their slump in this game here as Kopech is not that great of a pitcher on the year and the White Sox offense has been missing in action recently. Granted, the Tigers are going to have some issues in keeping the White Sox offense in check as Hutchinson is not that great of a pitcher either. Still, this game should hit the under here as neither offense capitalizes on the weak pitching and still the White Sox are unable to take advantage and lose the game here.
