The early game on Saturday features the Chicago White Sox vs the Detroit Tigers. On Friday, the White Sox walked off Detroit in the 10th inning, and that was after a 9th-inning rally to force extras. At some point, we need to start taking the White Sox seriously. The Tigers, on the other hand, are cratering hard. They have lost 11 of their last 13 games, and blowing the lead twice in the final 2 innings on Friday is just demoralizing. I have no idea why the White Sox are such plus-money underdogs, but I am happy to see it, and I will be locking that in.

The pitching matchup features a pair of lefties, Framber Valdez and Anthony Kay. Both have been pitching well for most of the season, and there is no reason to fade either guy. What does stand out, however, is the slugging percentage of each team vs lefties. Would it surprise you to know that the White Sox have the 4th-best slugging percentage in the league vs LHP? They trail only the Yankees, Dodgers, and Diamondbacks. The Tigers are in the bottom 5 in the same category. Look, the White Sox keep finding ways to win, and the Tigers keep finding ways to lose. Let’s ride the hot team.

The Tampa Bay Rays, despite losing 4 consecutive games entering this series against the Los Angeles Angels, still sit at the top of the American League East with a sterling 35-19 record. Things haven’t been going as well for the Angels this season, and that continued in the first game of the series on Friday night when Tampa Bay escaped with an 8-5 victory.

Angels pitchers have been struggling to keep runs off the board this season, and that could continue on Saturday with Reid Detmers taking the mound. The lefty had an unbelievable outing last time out, striking out 14 and allowing just 1 hit and 1 earned run over 8 innings, but his overall form this season has been rough — including when he allowed 8 earned runs in the outing prior to that dazzling 8-inning performance.

Drew Rasmussen has been pitching quite well for the Rays’ stingy staff this season, with his most recent outing being a 7-inning gem against the New York Yankees, allowing just 5 hits and no earned runs over 7 innings.

Detmers will be riding high after his last start, but the Rays are one of the best hitting teams against lefties this season, and the Angels’ starter gives no reason to believe he can string together 2 solid outings.

The New York Yankees continued their hot streak Friday night, defeating the Athletics 8-2 behind an 11-hit performance. Winners of 5 straight, the Yankees will look to keep the momentum rolling when they hand the ball to the left-hander Ryan Weathers, who enters with a  2-2 record, 3.14 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. The last time Weathers faced the A’s, he picked up the loss despite allowing just 1 earned run on 7 hits in 8 innings pitched. For the Athletics, J.T. Ginn will get the nod, entering with a 2-3 record, 3.19 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. 

The Athletics are batting .239 against lefties this season, and they failed to generate much offense against Weathers in their previous matchup. Meanwhile, the Yankees offense is surging right now, averaging 5.1 runs per game and hitting .279, compared to the A’s at 3.7 runs and .230. It’s too hard to trust the A’s in this spot, and while Ginn has pitched well this season, the Yankees are seeing the ball extremely well right now. Look for the Yankees to keep rolling and pick up another victory on the road. 

Yankees vs Athletics prediction: New York Yankees ML (-155) at the time of publishing. Playable up to – 175.
