Pushed earlier on the Phillies game because Brad Lidge is worthless pos that does not deserve a job, but that's besides the point. Let's get us a winner on the night card. Breaking down this Mariners/White Sox game and I have looked in and out of this match up to figure out why I shouldn't take the under. I couldn't find one. We have Felix Hernandez and John Danks on the mound tonight. These two know each other very well as they both pitched last series less than 10 days ago in Seattle. And they both were FANTASTIC. King Felix pitched on the 21st against the White Sox and he dominated. He went 8 innings only giving up 2 hits, 0 runs and struck out 8 batters. He was mowing this White Sox lineup down averaging only 11 pitches each inning. What intrigues me about Felix is that he is just terrific against the White Sox. In his last 3 starts against the White Sox dating back to '09 he is 3-0 and has not given up a SINGLE RUN in those starts. That's right Mr. Hernandez has held the White Sox scoreless over the course of 2 years, crazy shit huh?
Onto Mr. Danks. Guy has also been fantastic as of late going 3-0 his last 3 starts and holding 2 of those opponents scoreless. One of those shutouts was against this same Mariners team on July 20th. He went 7.2 innings, surrendering only 2 hits, and stuck out 8. Danks, just like his counterpart has dominated the Mariners. He is 3-1 in his last 4 starts against them and the Mariners have only managed to score 4 total runs on him over the course of 2 years. As I looked at the match up I found some nice numbers to support my play. Under is 4-1 in Mariners last 5 vs. American League Central. Under is 7-2-2 in Mariners last 11 games vs. a left-handed starter. Under is 20-6 in Mariners last 26 (76%) vs. a team with a winning record. I also found out that the Under is 17-6-3 in Hernandezs last 26 road starts vs. a team with a winning record, and the Under is 19-7-3 in Hernandezs last 29 starts as an underdog. White Sox are supporting my under cause as well. Under is 19-7 in White Sox last 26 games vs. a right-handed starter. Under is 5-1 in White Sox last 6 games as a favorite of -110 to -150, and the Under is 20-6 in Danks' last 26 vs. American League West. I have no info on the umpire as this is Game 1 of the series so we won't have the rotation set until Game 2. The wind is blowing 10mph from the East, which would have the wind blowing straight in from left field at U.S. Cellular field. I might be wrong, but I'm gonna say runs will be hard to come by tonight on the Southside. As always for good measure, here are a few other things that caught my eye. I wish you all best of luck and let's keep this train moving
Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
Under is 4-0 in Danks' last 4 starts vs. Mariners
Under is 16-6-4 in Hernandezs last 26 starts vs. a team with a winning record.
Under is 8-3-1 in Hernandezs last 12 starts vs. American League Central.
Under is 35-14-4 in Hernandezs last 53 road starts.
Not sure what you guys are getting it at, but I suggest you play it at 7 if you want the under. That's what I got it at with my local and obviously you can play it at 5dimes as well.
