Detroit is 11-1 the past 12 times Michael Fulmer has taken the mound. This record isn't built on luck. Fulmer has been brilliant going 9-2 with a 2.13 ERA on the season, including posting a 7-1 mark in his last 10 outings with a 0.83 ERA.

Fulmer is strong on the road, too, where he's 7-2 with a 2.43 ERA. He has the element of surprise on his side as the White Sox have never faced him. The White Sox have trouble with power pitchers, which Fulmer is.

Chicago is 1-7 in its last eight games, scoring one run or fewer in five of those losses. The White Sox haven't been playing well during the last six weeks going 23-39 during their past 62 games.

Not only do the White Sox have to deal with Fulmer, but they are forced to give Jacob Turner another start with Carlos Rondon on the DL. Turner has become a hopeless cause. He's been pitching in the minors where he was 4-7 with a 4.71 ERA in 18 Triple A starts. He got called up to pitch against the Angels last Sunday and was hammered giving up eight runs on seven hits in four innings.
