The White Sox were swept in a double-header on Friday versus this Tigers team but we look for them to rebound here and get the win. Chicago will send Gavin Floyd to the bump with his 8-6 record and ERA of 4.40 on the season including 4-4 on the road with an ERA of 6.03. Over his last three outings he is 2-1 with an ERA of 5.85. In his last outing he defeated Tampa Bay at home by a score of 4 to 3 pitching for 7 innings giving up 3 earned runs on 3 hits and 7 strikeouts. Floyd has dominated the Tigers over his career with a 5-0 record and an ERA of 3.55 while the Sox are 10-1 when he takes the mound versus Detroit. His last start versus the Tigers was back on June 11th and he faced today’s starter Edwin Jackson and got a 4 to 3 win pitching 8 innings giving up 1 earned run on 5 hits and 5 strikeouts. Jackson threw for 5 innings giving up 2 earned runs on 5 hits and 3 strikeouts in the loss. We expect another dominating performance from Gavin Floyd on Saturday as they White Sox rebound from a tough day on Friday and get back in this series with a win.
