Best bets for Saturday, August 15, 2026, straight from the model — no gut calls, just the biggest edges.
1. Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers — DET +1.5 Strong
Where the book sits at 1.5 on DET, our simulation disagrees by enough to make this a live run line play. The recommendation is DET +1.5, an edge of about 2.7 runs in our favor. On the total, the model projects around 8.2 combined runs versus a market number of 8.5. That's too tight to bet with confidence — the total is best left alone here.
