Tigers Preview: Detroit Tigers Aim for Redemption Against Chicago White Sox

The Detroit Tigers are gearing up for a crucial four-game series against the Chicago White Sox this weekend after a disappointing showing against the Chicago Cubs, where they lost two out of three games.

Currently, the Tigers sit four games under .500, and a sweep against their division rivals could help them regain some momentum as the season winds down.

The White Sox, struggling this season with only three wins in their last ten games, are looking to turn things around but have not secured a series victory this month.

The series kicks off at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, with the first game scheduled for Friday at 8:10 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the pitching matchups for the upcoming games:

Game 1:

- Tigers: Keider Montero (4-5, 5.28 ERA)

- White Sox: Chris Flexen (2-12, 5.46 ERA)

Game 2:

- Tigers: Tarik Skubal (14-4, 2.49 ERA)

- White Sox: Ky Bush (0-2, 3.68 ERA)

Game 3:

- Tigers: TBD

- White Sox: Jonathan Cannon (2-7, 4.26 ERA)

Game 4:

- Tigers: TBD

- White Sox: Davis Martin (0-2, 3.22 ERA)

This series is a significant opportunity for the Tigers to improve their standing. Historically, they have performed well against the White Sox this season, having previously swept a three-game series in Chicago and winning two of three in Detroit.

The White Sox currently rank last in several offensive categories, including OPS and runs scored, while also struggling with their pitching. Given these factors, the Tigers need to capitalize on this matchup to boost their chances for a strong finish to the season.
