Detroit in their last 10 have gone over the Total in 7 Games and the White Sox in their last 10 have gone over the Total in 7 Games.

The Tigers on the season are 53-52 on Totals going over and the White Sox are 53-54 in their Totals going over,the White Sox are 42-36 against Rhight Hasnded Starters on the season while the Tigers are 20-6 against Left handed starters on the season.

The Season is getting shorter and shorter for the Tigers and this series is one they will have to find some answers if they are to close the 6.5 games they trail the White Sox in the AL Central,so this is an important series for them,the White Sox will juxt lkook to keep on rolling towards a playoff berth,that looks very likely,The Tigers have won 5 of the last 10 between these two sides and in Chicago the Tigers have won only one of their last 3 games there.

The Numbers against each start leads you to beleive that the White Sox should get up here,of both starters Verlander has beaten the White Sox this season but career wise has been tragic against the White Sox,his last 5 starts against the White Sox has seen the Tigers fall 4 of those 5 games while for Danks the White Sox have won 3 of his last 4 starts against the Tigers.

Neither side is winning right now with bith sides having lost 4 of their last 5 matches.

I would say take the White Sox here and I probaly will as i think of both these sides the White Sox have a better starter and are probaly hitting better than the Tigers also,but the Tigers having such a great record against Lefties makes me think the Total is the better option and so we will try for it...Good Luck.
