Is there any reason NOT to play the CWS tonight?

Trying to sweep a home team on the road would keep me away but the White Sox are hot and the Indians are not. Contreras has looked like a different pitcher ever since being sent down to AAA as well. I don't even understand why Sowers is favored. I'm on the White Sox, Bob. GL with whatever you decide to do.

Couldn't believe this line.. Pretty much a pick em and the total is 9.5.. Makes no sense. No way both these pitchers have quality starts.. Lovin the Whitesox and over!!

sowers

Contreras has been excellent recently and the Pale Hose bats are the best they've been all year.

Sowers has struggled of late posting a 1.53WHIP and 6.06ERA in his last three starts. However he did have a good outing in Cleveland on Friday against the Reds with 5 hits and 2 earned runs in 6 innings pitched.

My pick is the under 9.5 runs. This is probably suicide because I'm ignoring Sowers' record against the White Sox and the Indians are the worst team in baseball for the under, going 43-33 YTD O/U. Given all this information I am playing against the trend with the under because both Contreras and Sowers seem to be turning things around in late June.

ONE reason to stay far away from CWS tonight....

Curious has a bet on them!

Too many on Sox, worried now.

Another reason to stay away:

71% of 12,500 bets are on White Sox, yet Indians went from -115 to -122.

lefty lee got pounded, sowers sucks, tribe sucks, love the sox. gimme the tribe.

If Sowers wins this game, I'm staying away from all games he pitches in. He burned me last time when I took Harang and he pitched decent enough to keep the Indians in the game when Greinke was on the mound.

Tribe strike first. Let's hope the White Sox can wake up at the plate.

Thank you, Mr. Harvey

5-1 in the 6th
