The Detroit Tigers will kick off a four-game set against the Chicago White Sox tonight. The AL Central rivals are at opposite ends of the division, as the White Sox already trail the first-place Tigers by 20 games, and it is only the very early days of June.
The Tigers will send one of their prized offseason acquisitions to the mound for this game. Jack Flaherty is living up to his billing as one of the better starters in the MLB, earning a 3.94 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. Unsurprisingly, this is a familiar matchup for the righty, as he faced the White Sox earlier in the season, holding Chicago to one run over six innings of work while striking out seven batters. That outing was in early April, and the White Sox have not improved one bit offensively since then. Flaherty should enjoy another solid outing here.
As part of their seemingly endless rebuild, Chicago has plenty of young players throughout the lineup. Starting pitcher Jonathan Cannon represents the youth movement in the starting rotation, posting a 4.15 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP through his nine 2025 starts. Those are decent numbers, but Cannon's last couple of starts have been ugly at best. The New York Mets battered him for five runs in six innings, while the Chicago Cubs knocked in three runs over five innings from Cannon. The Tigers have been solid on offense, potentially presenting another rough outing for the young righty.

Tigers vs White Sox Predictions and Picks
Paul Biagioli of Winners and Whiners writes, "This is not the game where the White Sox finally get a win over their division rival, as the Tigers have been controlling this series to start the year. Jack Flaherty is on the mound for the Tigers, and he already faced the White Sox once and had a strong showing. He only allowed one run and three hits in his start against Chicago earlier in the season, and will have another strong showing here. Flaherty has a strong 72-19 strikeout-to-walk ratio, as he keeps runners off the bases more than their opponents. The White Sox are finishing up a battle in Baltimore, where they have already lost two to the other worst team in the AL. Chicago does not have any momentum going, and the Tigers will shut them down here. Take the Tigers to cover the runline."
