Tigers vs White Sox: The Detroit Tigers are on a roll as they take on the Chicago White Sox (31-100) again on August 26, 2024, at Guaranteed Rate Field. Detroit comes into this game with a record of 65-66 after winning four of their last five games, including three straight against Chicago in the current series. Their recent performance reflects a team that is gaining momentum, particularly after sweeping the Seattle Mariners and taking two of three from the New York Yankees.
In contrast, the White Sox, holding a dismal 31-100 record, have lost three straight games and 13 consecutive contests against American League Central opponents. This matchup presents a stark contrast in both teams’ trajectories, with the Tigers vying for a .500 record and the White Sox merely trying to end a rough season on a high note.

Predictions
Given the current form of both teams, the Tigers are favored to win by at least two runs. Ty Madden, making his MLB debut, faces off against Davis Martin, who has a 3.22 ERA this season. Though Madden has had mixed results in the minor leagues, the matchup against the struggling White Sox offense should provide a favorable scenario for him. Expect the final score to reflect the Tigers’ recent offensive capabilities
