Heading into Wednesday night, Detroit was riding a 7 game win streak as one of the hottest teams in Major League Baseball.
Detroit is a -137 home favorite on Thursday with Chicago at +125. The total was set at 8.5.
Chicago is 15-39 in the last 54 meetings in Detroit and 9-24 in their last 33 road games.
Jose Quintano will start for the White Sox Thursday. The UNDER is 10-1 in Quintana’s last 11 road starts and 14-6-1 in Detroit’s last 21 overall. Seven of the last ten games in this series have resulted in 8 runs or more.
Quintana has allowed a total of 77 hits off of 234 at bats versus the Tigers current roster though only one home run over that span.
Quintana has only allowed two runs over his last 18 innings pitched and is due to give up more here considering that was not exactly the norm prior to this span. In three of four previous outings he permitted four or more runs.
Jordan Zimmermann, meanwhile, has been completely rattled of late and will also be returning off of the DL.
