The upcoming matchup between the Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox highlights a contrasting pitching dynamic. The Tigers' Kenta Maeda struggles recently, with a 6.59 ERA in his last four starts, while the White Sox's Drew Thorpe, a young pitcher with limited experience, is making a debut against a struggling Detroit lineup. This game is crucial as the Tigers have a poor record when allowing four or more runs. The weather is cloudy with a slight chance of rain as both teams aim for a needed victory.
"Just as Friday's game between the Tigers and White Sox lived up to its billing as a pitchers' duel, today's matinee will likely land on the other side of the spectrum."
"Maeda was solid in his return from the injured list on May 23, with just four hits allowed over five scoreless innings against Toronto."
"Detroit featuring a righty who has given up at least four runs - remember, the Tigers are 10-31 when giving up four or more, and 25-9 when giving up three or less."
"Thorpe was one of the prospects sent to Southern California to pry Juan Soto away from the Padres in December."
