AccuScore's MLB picks of the day: One favorite, one dog for Saturday image

AccuScore’s predictions are based on 10,000-plus simulations performed by the company’s computer.  Throughout the baseball season, AccuScore will be stacking up its projections against Las Vegas odds and recommending wagers when value presents itself.

Detroit Tigers ML -115 (vs. Chicago White Sox)
In AccuScore simulations, Detroit is rated much higher than by the betting market.  The Tigers, based on the sims, have a 61 percent chance to beat the White Sox today, which translates to odds of -156.  At the -115 price, Detroit offers nice value. Tigers pitcher Anibal Sanchez provides an edge over White Sox starter Chris Sale. 

Supporting trend: Detroit is 4-0 at home, the White Sox 1-5 away.

San Diego Padres +104 (@ Chicago Cubs)
The matchup between Padres and Cubs provides a good shot for visiting San Diego.   The Padres win 57.4 percent of simulations, meaning they should be -134 favorites.
