The Detroit Tigers will show down against the Chicago White Sox in a rubber match for their three-game series today. Detroit scraped through the first contest on the strength of its pitching, the same pitching that proceeded to get pasted by the White Sox in game two. This contest might not be consequential in the grand scheme of the season, but each team would certainly like to dish out a loss to a hated division rival, adding some extra stakes today.
Unfortunately for Detroit manager AJ Hinch, a repeat performance from the pitching staff is not out of the question here. The Tigers are yet to announce a starter, which means that a bullpen game is entirely possible. Alternatively, starter Keider Montero could be called up from the minor leagues, an idea that is not all that much of an improvement over a bullpen game. Montero has started nine games this season, accumulating a 4.66 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP, numbers that fully display his lack of efficiency.
The White Sox will turn to starting pitcher Shane Smith to make today's start. The righty has been the picture of a middling pitcher, earning a 4.22 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP over 20 starts. Those numbers are not anything to write home about, but they indicate a level of pitching that consistently gives the White Sox a chance to win ballgames. Unfortunately for Chicago, performances like last night's offensive explosion have been a rarity, as the White Sox lineup ranks in the bottom five teams in the MLB in nearly every major offensive metric.

Tigers vs White Sox Predictions and Picks
Liam Keating of Winners and Whiners writes, "Chicago has been playing better by their standards since the All-Star break. But they still have lost seven of their past eight games coming into Tuesday. On Wednesday, I expect a similar outcome for Chicago: a loss. The Tigers lead the division for a reason: their successful offense. The Tigers are also just a game shy of the AL lead. They are hitting .273 against the White Sox this year, and their pitching staff has a 2.80 ERA against AL Central foes. The Tigers will keep their strong season rolling with an easy matinee victory. Take the Tigers to cover."
