MLB Game Preview: Tiger-White Sox Encounter on Tuesday Night, with Predictions and Odds Provided for Your Betting Pleasure

In the upcoming MLB matchup between the Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox on August 13, 2022, expert predictions favor an overabundance of runs. The total for the game is set at 8.5, with the "Over" being recommended as the best bet [1].

This prediction is based on Detroit's strong lineup against Chicago's struggling starter (Smith), combined with the Tigers' bullpen weakness that allows runs. These factors lead to an expectation of a relatively high-scoring game.

Regarding betting trends, the moneyline odds give a slight edge to the Tigers, but some experts lean towards Chicago due to distrust in the Tigers’ starter Smith [1][2][3]. Run line betting sees mixed opinions, with some favoring Chicago to cover the spread but with caution due to pitching concerns [1][2].

The over/under is placed around 8.0 to 9.0 runs total, with the "Over 8.5" recommendation as the best single pick [1][2][3]. The best price for the under bet is currently available at BetMGM. The spread for the Tigers is -1.5 with a price of -105, and the spread for the White Sox is 1.5 with a price of 115.

The game will take place at Guaranteed Rate Field and will be broadcast live on CHSN. The game is scheduled to start at 7:40 p.m. ET.

It's important to note that this strategy focuses on games where teams have low-scoring performances. Betting the under in such situations has shown consistent short-term profitability. However, this strategy targets strong pitching or cold offenses, and it filters for more recent seasons to reflect current scoring environments and pitcher usage trends.

The Detroit Tigers currently have a record of 69-51, while the Chicago White Sox have a record of 43-76.
