Yesterday, Detroit overcame two early runs by the White Sox to beat them 5-2. Today, Gavin Floyd pitches for the White Sox, while Justin Verlander is on the mound for the Tigers. Last time Verlander pitched, the White Sox crushed the Tigers 13-2 in Detroit, with Verlander responsible for most of the damage. I think that Verlander will be a bit better today, but I will pick the White Sox to beat him again. Prediction- White Sox 4, Tigers 3.

Barcelona is clinging to second spot in a great race to the top of the Primera Liga table. Today they collide with a Real Betis side that is three points clear of the relegation zone. Barcelona has struggled recently, losing to Valencia in the Cope del Rey Semifinals, and losing two points after conceding a late goal at Almeria. Real Betis has beaten both Real Madrid and Murcia in their last two home games. Can Barcelona get back on track in their attempt to get another title? I think they can. Prediction- Barcelona 2, Real Betis 1.
