Prop Bets: Chicago White Sox VS Detroit Tigers 2025-09-06
Tigers vs. White Sox: A Tale of Two Teams (and One Very Confused Underdog)
The Detroit Tigers (81-60) roll into Comerica Park as favorites (-259) to stomp the Chicago White Sox (-200 underdogs), a team that’s lost 3 of 4 bets as +259 underdogs this season. Let’s break it down with the precision of a radar gun and the humor of a dugout full of stand-up comedians.
Why the Tigers Should Win
- Tarik Skubal (12-4, 2.18 ERA, 216 Ks in 173 IP) is the real deal. The White Sox are 0-3 in his last 3 starts vs. them. Skubal’s strikeout prop is set at 7.5 (-152). Bet Over if you trust his 216-K magic. Under (+130) if you think Chicago’s .235 team BA will survive.
- Detroit’s offense is 8th in MLB runs (4.8 RPG) and 10th in ERA (3.89). Riley Greene (.269, 32 HRs) is a +300 prop bet to hit a HR. Bet him, then laugh when he smacks one off Martin Perez’s 4.24 ERA.
- The Tigers are 62.2% winners as favorites this year. Chicago? They’re 37.4% as underdogs. That’s about the same chance I have of napping through this game without snoring.
Why the White Sox Might (Not) Win
- Martin Perez (1-3, 4.24 ERA) faces a Tigers lineup that’s hit 177 HRs. Bet Under 7.5 runs (-110) if you’re feeling masochistic.
- Chicago’s offense is 26th in MLB runs (4.0 RPG). Their best hope? Andrew Benintendi (.244) and Lenyn Sosa (19 HRs). But Sosa’s HR prop is +1100. That’s optimism in a jar.
- The White Sox are 3-27 in their last 30 games as underdogs. They’ve lost 8 straight vs. Detroit. It’s like they’ve got a “Do Not Pass Go” rule in this rivalry.
Prop Bets to Steal (or at Least Borrow)
- Riley Greene HR Over 0.5 (-175): He’s hit 6 HRs in his last 10 games. Bet Over and pretend you’re not just hedging against a Tigers loss.
- Spencer Torkelson’s RBI Over 1.5 (-125): His .332 OBP and .466 SLG make him a 1.5-RBI machine. Bet him, then eat the $10 you just won.
- Chicago’s Team Total Under 2.5 Runs (-110): It’s a math problem. 4.0 RPG vs. Skubal. Solve it.
Final Verdict
The Tigers are 72-62 in Over/Under bets this season. Bet Over 7.5 runs (-110) and hope for a fireworks show. The White Sox? They’ll need a miracle, a rally, and maybe a time machine to fix their 53-88 record.
Prediction: Tigers 5, White Sox 1. Skubal fans 8, Greene homers, and Chicago fans check their phones for a live “How to Apply for MLB Re-Entry” seminar.
