Detroit is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss and 11-5 in their last 16 games against a team with a right-handed starter while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a loss.

Pick

I’m rolling with the under here. Michael Lorenzen’s actually been pitching pretty well as of late at home and the White Sox haven’t been as solid against right-handed pitching. On the other side, this is a bullpen game it looks like for the White Sox, but the bullpen has been better in recent weeks and I think they have a good shot at keeping this one lower-scoring. Give me the under here.
