#916 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Run Line: Chicago White Sox -1.5 runs (-115) over Detroit Tigers, Saturday at 2:10 PM ET - The White Sox got the win yesterday and should do the same here but this time by a multiple-run margin. Detroit has now lost 19 of 29 road games this season including 5 of the last 6. Chicago is 22-9 at home this season and also 13-3 this season against left-handed starters. The White Sox lead the majors when facing southpaws with a .358 on base percentage and a .478 slugging percentage and the Sox .278 batting average against left-handed pitching is 2nd only to the Astros out of all 30 MLB teams. The Tigers are starting Tarik Skubal here. Detroit is 2-7 in his starts this season. Skubal is off of a better outing in his most recent start but that was at home and he has struggled on the road in each of his first two seasons in the majors. Last year Skubal went 0-3 with a 6.86 ERA in his 6 away games - 5 starts. This season Skubal is 1-3 with a 7.46 ERA in his 4 starts away from home thus far. That said, a road start against a team known for crushing lefties is unlikely to serve him well. The White Sox starter in this one is Lucas Giolito. He is very consistent and has held opponents to a batting average of .205, .184, .202 in the 2019, 2020, 2021 seasons. In the last 162 game regular season (2019), Giolito went 7-3 with a 2.16 ERA and .163 BAA in day game outings. Prior to yesterday's high-scoring loss, Detroit had been held to 3 or less runs in 6 of its last 9 games. The White Sox have won 9 of last 12 games and scored an average of 5.8 runs per game in the 9 victories. The average score of those games was 5.8 to 2.9 and this should be another big win as well as Detroit drops to 1-6 last 7 road games. Per our computer math model a rout is quite likely in this one. As you can see above, all the key edges are with the home team in this one and we are grabbing them on the run line. Blowout alert! Bet the Chicago White Sox -1.5 runs on the run line.
