MLB Premium Play 07/10: Chicago White Sox @ Detroit Tigers

MLB - 917 Chicago White Sox @ 918 Detroit Tigers

(Starting Pitchers: D. Axelrod vs R. Porcello)

***DOUBLE DIME PLAY***

This is a good bounce back spot for Detroit, after getting humiliated last night. The White Sox will start Dylan Axelrod tonight, who allowed five earned runs (two home runs) in 1.2 innings at Tampa Bay on his last outing. This bad start is just the culmination of his terrible moment. He has struggled in five of his last six starts, while ending June with a 7.53 FIP and 5.59 xFIP. Now against the great Tigers' offense, he is going to get crushed.

On the other hand, Rick Porcello will start for Detroit tonight and he is one of the most underrated pitchers in the league. He may have a 4.93 ERA, but his 3.56 FIP and 3.13 xFIP show that he has been quite unlucky this season. He had back to back poor outings against Baltimore and the LA Angels, but these two teams are ranked #5 and #4 respectively on hitting versus RH pitchers this season, while the White Sox are #28. Therefore, I expect Porcello to pitch well tonight, allowing the Tigers to have an easy win in here. I'm taking Detroit on the runline tonight on a Double Dime Play!

Pick: 4 units (Double Dime Play) on 918 Detroit Tigers RL -1.5 (w/ R. Porcello) @ -120 / 1.83 on Betonline
