Pick

I’m backing the White Sox here. The Sox already took out a lefty for the Tigers earlier in this series in Joey Wentz, and while Eduardo Rodriguez is having a far better season compared to Wentz, the White Sox are still hitting well right now and as much progress as the Tigers have made, it’s hard to back them here in a matchup against Dylan Cease, who has owned the Tigers over the course of his career. I just don’t see this as a viable spot to back Detroit, so give me Chicago here.
