Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and prediction
The Chicago White Sox (39-24) and Detroit Tigers (26-37) play the middle game of a three-game AL Central series Saturday with a 4:10 p.m. ET first pitch at Comerica Park. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the White Sox vs. Tigers odds with MLB picks and predictions.
RHP Dylan Cease is the projected starting pitcher for the White Sox. He is 4-2 with a 3.36 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 11.4 K/9, and 4.1 BB/9 in 61 2/3 IP over 12 starts.
Cease is coming off a nice start against these same Tigers (7 scoreless innings, 1 BB, 10K), and he has two scoreless outings against Detroit this season. Cease has two quality starts in his last 3 games.
RHP Jose Urena is the projected starter for the Tigers. He is 2-5 with a 4.25 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 5.5 K/9, and 3.6 BB/9 in 59 1/3 IP over 11 starts.
Urena is facing Chicago for the second start in a row, and in 12 IP against them this season has fanned just three batters. He only allowed 4 ER over those starts, but he was aided by allowing little damage on balls in play.

Money line (ML)
Chicago is a "lean" in principle on the ML, but any profit potential looks to be drowned out by the juice here. A solid comparative-to-the-market price can be found on the run line. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
Taking the favorite against the spread in a game with an Under lean takes an attractive price. The tag here fits the bill in a game where the visitors have a solid edge on the mound and in overall quality.
BACK THE WHITE SOX -1.5 (-115).
Over/Under (O/U)
The weather forecast sets this one up as a low-humidity, breeze-in-from-left contest. In a market all over the map on this total, the price here is attractive on the Under.
TAKE UNDER 9.5 (-110).
