Game Analysis & Prediction

The Tigers enter Game 3 looking to bounce back after a surprising 8-1 loss to the White Sox on Tuesday. Detroit’s offense struggled against Chicago’s pitching, managing just seven hits and one run. However, the Tigers remain one of the most dominant teams in the AL, boasting a 40-22 record and a strong road performance.

Chicago, despite its struggles, showed resilience in Tuesday’s win, with Mike Tauchman and Chase Meidroth leading the charge. Jared Shuster will start for the White Sox, but his 6.14 ERA and limited innings raise concerns about Chicago’s ability to contain Detroit’s powerful lineup.
