    Edwin jackson....

    A road favorite?

    2-4 with a 6.07 era and 1.628 whip on the road with a HUGE over/under at 13. I know everyone is on the WS today, but call me crazy I think the Cubbies can pull off there 3rd win in a row here. For + money at home against a bad road pitcher has me really

    a BABIP of .365 and LOB% of 60% on the road are pretty unsustainable. You think he's that much more comfortable 10 miles south @ the Cell?

    Die hard Sox fan here and I will admit that Edwin Jackson has been the most inconsistent pitcher we have, however He's up against Randy Wells who has been shelled for 25 runs in his last 30 innings of work and has yet to go over 6 innings in a game this season. Other trends are that the Cubs record against righties is awful. Cubs have also won 2 straight and have yet been able to win 3 straight this season.

    I think this game could go either way, so I think the line is right, b/c althought Jackson is inconsistent, I think he is better than Wells and the Sox bullpen is superior

    How much of a road game is it from going from the South side to Wrigleyville?

    He is a 3-4 spot pitcher.
    Very hittable, and eratic.

    White sox can be up 2 runs and then Jackson can load the bases in the bottom half of the inning. That's the type of pitcher he's been this year.

    guys Edwin Jackson is a very good pitcher... he just happens to be playing a bad team so his numbers are a bit mis leading. He has electric stuff

    electricity is useless if it is harnessed and utilized correctly. case and point, if you do not get 1.21 gigawatts directly into the flux capacitor the delorean cannot travel through time.
