Pick White Sox -105 in Detroit

Game Time: 4/20/2007 7:05:00 PM -
By: Ben Burns


While neither of these starting pitchers has won a game yet, Chicago southpaw John Danks has pitched supremely better of the two, so look for the White Sox to get the road win.

Both of these starting pitchers are winless so far, but Chicago left-hander John Danks (0-2) has pitched much better to this point than Detroit right-hander Chad Durbin (0-1).

Danks has allowed only five earned runs through 11 1/3 innings for a very respectable 3.97 ERA. Durbin, on the other hand, has allowed 17 hits and 12 earned runs in just 8 2/3 innings of work, translating to a whopping 12.46 ERA! Durbin is also 1-6 with an awful 10.66 ERA in nine appearances vs. the White Sox.

Overall, the White Sox have won 13 of the last 20 series meetings and 14 of the last 20 games played here in Detroit, so play on Chicago.

Play: White Sox -105

I'm actually lean toward Burnsy's play here guys, although I did not play it myself as I'd want a better price. The Sox offense appers to have awoken the last two nights, and I do agree that the Sox starting pitcher is better here. Then again, I think that either Dan, icsky or I could pitch better than Durbin.
