White Sox double up Phillies

Chicago earned a 10-5 victory Sunday afternoon at Philadelphia to improve to 48-61 overall and 21-33 on the road. Leury Garcia helped lead the White Sox offense as he finished 1-for-5 with a grand slam. Tim Anderson went 1-for-5 with a solo homer. Eloy Jimenez was 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs. Reynaldo Lopez picked up the win as he allowed three earned runs on seven hits with three strikeouts and three walks over 5 1/3 innings.

MLB Betting Trends

Chicago

The White Sox are 1-8 in their last nine versus the AL Central. Chicago is 1-4 in the last five Giolito starts.

Detroit

The Tigers are 10-43 in their last 53 games. Detroit is 1-7 in its last eight Monday games.

Prediction:

Offense hasn't really been the Tigers' issue lately, but I dont like their chances here against a pitcher in Giolito who was an All-Star and is coming off an outstanding start. Turnbull has been fairly reliable this season, but does allow a lot of baserunners and he probably won't get bailed out from his mistakes today. I think this line is too tight and I'm siding with the White Sox here.
