Money line (ML)
The White Sox have lost two in a row but have won 7 of their last 10 games and have the AL's highest winning percentage at home this season. They have a 2.5 game lead atop the AL Central.
The Tigers have won four of their last five games but are only 10-17 on the road. They have won four of Mize's last five starts.
This promises to be a good pitching matchup but the White Sox have been too good this year and so has Lynn.
Take the WHITE SOX (-200).
