Six Pack of Stats: White Sox 4, Tigers 2
Chicago started the season 1-9 vs. the Tigers, a .100 winning percentage. With Monday’s win, the White Sox are 6-1 (.857) vs. Detroit since August 14.
It was Daniel Palka’s home run, not Matt Davidson’s, that accounted for the most WPA, earning the masher the game MVP (.371 WPA). In fact, Davidson (.256 WPA) didn’t even finish in the top three in MVP consideration for the game: Second was Victor Martinez (.288 WPA), who homered in the top of the ninth for the presumed game-winner, while third was Reynaldo López (.268 WPA), who authored a brilliant, 71 game score outing.
