The Tigers have been hitting LHP hard, but they haven't faced someone as good as Chris Sale yet. Sale has gotten better with each start vs. the Tigers as he posts a 1.97 ERA over the last 2 years covering 59.1 innings pitched against the division rival. Sale enters this game on 5 days rest while his opponent is only on 4 days. Over the last 3 years Sale has pitched extremely well during day starts with a 3.02 ERA compared with Anibal Sanchez's 3.67 ERA. Sanchez also has 6 starts vs. the White Sox with a 3.72 ERA which is pretty good, but not as good as Sale's stats. The White Sox are a dog because they have struggled early this year, but they seemed to be turning it all around over their last 5 games they are hitting .293 vs RHP and are scoring 4.80 runs per 9 vs. RHP. They also have a 1.54 ERA out of their bullpen which is expected to be better than the Tigers. All in all there is too much value on the Sox in this spot.
