Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers (2026-08-14). Sean Newcomb vs Jackson Jobe at Comerica Park.
Starters — Sean Newcomb has a 2.66 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 64.1 innings, with 8.39 K/9, 3.22 BB/9, and an elite 0.28 HR/9. His last three appearances were all short outings, totaling 3.0 scoreless innings with 3 strikeouts and 1 walk, so the recent form is steady rather than building. The flat trend fits a profile that has limited damage well, especially in the home run column. Jackson Jobe has a 0.00 ERA and 0.40 WHIP through 5.0 innings, with 7.2 K/9, 1.8 BB/9, and 0.0 HR/9. His only listed recent start was 5.0 scoreless innings with 4 strikeouts and 1 walk on August 8, which is excellent on the surface, but the sample is still very small.
Teams — Chicago enters with a .724 OPS, 574 runs scored, a .238 team average, and a 4.10 team ERA with a 1.30 WHIP. The White Sox are 4-6 over their last 10 games, suggesting a slightly cooler recent stretch despite a respectable season-long run total. Detroit has a .727 OPS, 552 runs scored, a .243 team average, and a stronger run-prevention base with a 3.47 team ERA and 1.20 WHIP. The Tigers are 7-3 in their last 10, and that recent form lines up with the better overall pitching staff numbers.
