Chicago White Sox vs. Detroit Tigers

Quick read:

I'm backing the under 8.0 runs because when the White Sox and Tigers lock horns, you hear more crickets than crowd roars; it's a low‑scoring lull you can set your watch to.

The numbers back that vibe: Chicago has scraped together 583 runs on 973 hits, while Detroit has managed 557 runs on a slightly higher 1,001 hits – plenty of contact, but the run conversion is about as effective as a screen door in a hurricane.

The only wrinkle is a sudden pitching change that could spark a late‑inning rally, but at a fair price the under feels as safe as a nightcap after a long bar crawl.
