The Detroit Tigers got another win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday evening. They will now be looking to clinch the series here in game three on Saturday afternoon. They come into this game with a record of 36-47 through their first 83 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. They have won eight out of their last ten games on the year and are currently on a six game winning streak as well. 

The Chicago White Sox have been a complete disappointment this season. As they come into this game with a record of 39-43 through their first 82 games of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. It is disappointing because they were expected to be the clear cut favorite to win the American League Central division but currently sit in third place trailing the Minnesota Twins by six games. I have them losing this game to the Detroit Tigers as well.
