Gambling911.com has your White Sox vs. Tigers betting pick and DFS plays for April 18 in what could prove to be a barnburner.

Best Bets: OVER 7.5

Best DFS Picks: Geovany Soto, Victor Martinez

PITCHING MATCHUP: White Sox LH Chris Sale (1-0, 1.50 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Anibal Sanchez (1-1, 3.46)

Betting Line: Tigers -120, White Sox +110, Total: 7.5

Prior to the last four games of this series, these meetings traditionally hit 8 or OVER. Gambling911.com believes this one will help break the recent trend.

It gets better though.

White Sox starter Chris Sale has permitted 45 hits off of 149 at bats against the current Tigers roster. Detroit’s Anibal Sanchez has allowed 46 off of 143.

Sanchez was 0-2 with a 4.97 ERA in two starts against the White Sox last year.

Geovany Soto went 2-for-3 with a solo homer against the Twins last Saturday and has hit 5-of-10 off of Sanchez.

Victor Martinez returns to the Tigers lineup today priced at $4000. He is 15-of-29 vs. Sale.
