Detroit -1½ over Chicago

2:10 PM EST. Beau Brieske (RHP - DET) will “open” this game for the Tigers, and he’ll likely give way to Bryan Sammons, who has a serviceable 3.91 in 23 innings pitched this season. As for Brieske, he opened for Kenta Maeda on Wednesday night, where he threw two innings of one-hit ball and struck out three vs. the Cubs. In August, Brieske has been stellar, posting a 1.77 xERA to back his 1.69 surface ERA while striking out 15 in 10.2 IP with 5 BBs.

Jonathan Cannon (RHP - CHI) was tapped for five runs in six innings by the middling Giants offense on Monday, which now brings his record to 2-7. We acknowledge that pitcher wins are a “team” stat, but that is why we bring them up because rarely do the White Sox (31-99) win a game. In this series vs. the Tigers, the White Sox have been outscored 14-5, losing games on both Friday and Saturday, and the only reason they didn’t lose last Thursday was because they didn’t play. If he were on any other team, Cannon may have been moved to the bullpen by now, but the White Sox are playing out the string, so the leash on Cannon (who now has 4.70 xERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 59/24 K/BB through 86.2 innings) is long enough to hang himself.
