This is an 8* on CHICAGO

We like the White Sox to roll their division rivals in Friday’s series opener. Chicago is having an excellent season thus far. They are first in the Central with a 38-24 record. They’ve allowed the fewest number of runs in the American League. Coming off a winning series against Toronto, the White Sox now head to Detroit. They just took three of four games from the Tigers last week. We get a better price on them on the road, which is nice. The Tigers have been playing somewhat better of late, but are still only 26-36. They’ve scored the least amount of runs in the AL. So their lineup vs. White Sox pitching is quite the mismatch. Lucas Giolito is who the Tigers will face tonight. They did hit three homers off him last weekend when they picked up their only win of the series. But Giolito has previously allowed exactly one earned run in five of six starts in May. He’s allowed no more than three runs in 9 of 12 starts overall. Skubal has a 3-7 TSR for Detroit and only one quality start. Don’t overthink this one. Take the much better team. Play on CHICAGO
