On the evening of August 26, 2024, an intriguing MLB matchup is set to take place at Guaranteed Rate Field as the Detroit Tigers go head-to-head with the Chicago White Sox starting at 8:10 PM. Expect some delays or interruptions as light rain is forecasted for the game time.

As of now, the Detroit Tigers have not confirmed their starting pitcher for the game. Conversely, the White Sox will send Davis Martin to the mound, who boasts an ERA of 3.224 this season.

In the American League Central Division, the Tigers currently hold the 10th spot with a record of 64 wins and 66 losses, reflecting a winning percentage of .49. They are 4th in division play with an even 22-22 record. The team has picked up a bit of momentum lately, winning 7 out of their last 10 games and are on a two-game winning streak. At home, their record stands at 31-32, slightly better than their road record of 33-34. The Tigers have also posted 31 victories in day games versus 33 in night matches, having scored 547 runs while allowing 542.

On the other side, the Chicago White Sox are struggling at the bottom of the division in 15th place with a win-loss record of 31-99, which translates to a mere .24 winning percentage. They have a dismal division record of 8 wins to 36 losses, currently holding down the last position. Their recent form hasn’t shown much promise either, with only 2 wins in their last 10 games and currently on a two-game losing streak. Playing at home has offered little solace as they’ve managed a poor 18-46 record; their performance on the road is even less encouraging at 13-53. The White Sox have garnered 11 wins in daytime games compared to 20 nighttime victories and have scored significantly fewer runs (404) while conceding a high of 675.
