It is hard not to back Chris Sale on our the way he's been pitching and he's on 5 days rest where he posts a 1.50 ERA over his last 8. He is also backed by a bullpen that is really doing its job with a 2.43 ERA over the last 10 games and he gets to face a Tigers line up that is hitting just .255 and scoring only 2.08 runs per 9 vs. LHP over their last 10 games. Doug Fister on the other hand is on 4 days rest and the road where he has struggled at times. Fister has 4 poor starts this year of giving up 5 or more ER and 3 of the 4 have come on 4 days rest and 3 of the 4 have come on the road so he is clearly more likely to pitch poorly on the road where he is 3-12 in his last 15 as a favorite. White Sox hitters have decent numbers against him posting a .722 OPS and a .284 average in 95 AB. The Tigers are 7 games up in the AL West so this may be a game they relax a bit and Chris Sale can dominate.
