The Chicago White Sox have simply been unable to pick up victories in Detroit. The ChiSox have lost eight consecutive games at Comerica Park while being outscored 44-19 in that span. The White Sox will look to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Detroit Tigers in Thursday's matinee action.
- Miguel Cabrera has a career .351 batting average against Jose Quintana.
- The Tigers are 10-2 against the runline in their past 12 games against the AL.
- The UNDER is 17-3 in Jose Quintana’s past 20 starts for the White Sox.
Jose Quintana, who takes the mound for the White Sox, is coming off his best month of the season. The lefty posted a 1.95 ERA while holding opponents to a .197 batting average in five starts throughout July.
The Tigers will welcome Jordan Zimmermann back to the rotation after the ace was sidelined a month with an injured neck. That certainly didn’t seem to affect him during his two rehab starts with Triple-A Toledo, as the righty posted a 1.13 ERA while giving up just one earned run across 8.0 innings.
