T.M. Selection: Chicago White Sox.

I like the Chicago White Sox to win this game against the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. The White Sox have lost 2 games in a row now but they have also lost 4/5 of their previous 5 games, including a series to the Twins, but I think it is time they bounce back here. They are in their own ballpark and can't afford to keep losing games to these bad teams, especially the bad teams in their own division. I expect them to step up here and get the win over a Tigers team that is really hot now, winning 6 games in a row, but has also been really bad in road games this year and having already won 2 in a row here over the White Sox, I think it's time they lose a game. Johnny Cueto (2-4, 3.30 ERA) is up for the White Sox here and he has been great all year. The White Sox picked him up earlier in the year hoping that he would fill in a must needed spot in the rotation when their pitching wasn't great and they were getting a lot of bad outings from their guys. He has been nothing but great though, with only 1 start where he gave up more than 3 runs this year, and I think he's going to pitch another great game here against the Tigers who have an offense near the bottom of the league. Garrett Hill (1-0, 1.50 ERA) is up for the Tigers here and he has only made 1 other start in the MLB since he is still in his rookie year. He was great in that start, giving up just 1 run in 6 innings against the Guardians but he also facing a better lineup here that has had some players return from injury this week and is now a lot healthier than they have been all year. I think the bats are going to wake up here for the White Sox with this rookie starting and I'm expecting a win out of them here. I like the White Sox to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 7-2 White Sox.
