    Nice Dog play on Chicago White Sox Friday

    Danks is a quality pitcher, +168 is a really high number for someone of his ability. Colby Lewis is a decent enough pitcher, but he doesn't warrant that big a tariff.

    White Sox lineup is fairly unchanged from last year

    This should be a close one

    My cash is on the + money

    Salud!

    With you on this one, because this is the only game the Sox have a shot of winning in this series and they know it.

    its insane to lay that kind of number on opening day, The White Sox are plenty good with their best starter going

    Brocks rolling. For him not to bet on a "sure thing" means he has money to blow.

    Why is Texas such a good bet? (Not talking trash, just looking for good capping info)

    you should be getting around +200 according to my rough calculations. The pitching matchup is pretty even to me. Danks and Lewis are both decent pitchers. Chicago's lineup isn't that great. I think Texas lineup is a solid 10% better and then you add 5% for homefield. Texas wins this game 65% of the time, not factoring in the bulpen. I think I threw around 2% more on Texas because I really disliked the White Sox bulpen as well.

    AA could be a solid leadoff man, but is he really JUST NOW peaking in his 11th year??? Dunn is an awful cleanup man. Alex Rios, Gordon Beckham and Brent Morel are banjo players with SOME pop. This Viciedo may end up a player someday soon, but it won't be now. Pierzynski and Ramirez are solid hitters. The only good bat they have is Konerko. Compare this to the Rangers lineup.. Kinsler, Beltre, Hamilton, and Young are all really good hitters like Konerko. Andrus, Cruz, and Napoli are all solid hitters. Moreland is a bit of a banjo hitter, but he's the only one in the lineup. Murphy is decent hitter, comparable to AJ for the Sox. So you have 4 great hitters for Texas and 3 solid ones. You have 1 great hiter for Chicago and 2 solid ones.

    Nice write up but none of this will matter. +1.5 sox is the best play

    Thats 1/1458 innings.

    Not only that, but I felt they should have gotten more runs there also.

    was worth a shot on the + side

    i can see Texas being very good again this year, White Sox are not a real good hitting team

    onto the next play
