MLB Betting Trends

Detroit

The Tigers have lost Fulmer’s last five Monday starts, but they have won their last six games in Chicago.

Chicago

The White Sox have won four of their last five division games and five of their last seven against a right-handed starter.

Prediction:

Fulmer couldn’t be much more disappointing this season. Expected to be an ace, he has been anything but in 2018. On the road, Fulmer has been even worse. He carries a 6.06 ERA away from Detroit and he is facing a Chicago team that has been heating up at the plate as they have been getting healthier. Lopez has been pretty solid against Detroit, posting a 2.32 ERA over five starts against the Tigers this year.

 

The Pick: Chicago White Sox -115
