MLB Betting Trends

Chicago

The White Sox are just 2-7 in Lopez’ last nine road starts and 5-12 in their last 17 series openers.

Detroit

The Tigers have won four of their last five at home, but are just 7-15 in their last 22 Monday games.

Prediction:

The Tigers have done well at home lately, but I like Chicago tonight. The White Sox have the better lineup and are coming in with the stronger pitcher tonight. Lopez has started three times against the Tigers and has a 2.25 ERA against them. Lewicki hasn’t looked good in his starting role.

 

The Pick: Chicago White Sox -105
