Today’s matchup is between the Detroit Tigers (23-32) and the Chicago White Sox (33-22). The Tigers have won 4 of their last 5 games & the White Sox have won 3 of their last 5 games.
The Tigers are starting Casey Mize (RHP), on the mound who is 3-3 on the season pitching a 3.28 ERA, 4.43 FIP, .295 wOBA, K% of 20.1%, BB% of 8.5%, 87.9 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.11 WHIP in 57.2 innings pitched.
The White Sox are starting Dallas Keuchel (LHP), who is 4-1 on the season with a 4.53 ERA, 4.87 FIP, .331 wOBA, K% of 12.0%, BB% of 7.2%, 86.6 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.32 WHIP in 59.2 innings pitched.
The Tigers are 22nd in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the White Sox are 3rd.
On the hitting side, the Tigers have a .293 wOBA and a .298 OBP. The White Sox have a .330 wOBA and a .343 OBP. The Tigers have 52 HRs this season while the White Sox have 53 HRs.
Casey Mize (Tigers) is the better pitcher compared to Dallas Keuchel but it isn't drastic enough where I see the White Sox relievers keeping them in the game and their bats sealing the deal. There's not much value at -200 but the White Sox should get the win!
