CHW -127: The CHW had struggled on road but now have won three games in a row and the first two agianst OAK. Today CHW go to the A's Killer Danks. In his career he has a 4-0 record and a 1.38 ERA in four starts against Oakland. Plus, the third-year left-hander is 4-1 with a 2.91 ERA in his last seven starts on the road. OAK had been hot but now has lost three out of there last 4 games. Not good for them they have Cahill who has lost his last 4 starts getting shelled in those games. 23 innings and 20 runs giving up 5 hr's. This one will not be close as Cahill is no where near the pitcher that Danks is and the CHW is much better also. Easy win today as CHW sweep the series. SCORE CHW 7 - OAK 3

Sunday's play 10 Dime -- White Sox (Danks) over ATHLETICS (Cahill)

WHITE SOX
NOTE: List only Danks as Chicago's starting pitcher

John Danks (10-8, 4.04 ERA) is more successful against Oakland than he is against any other team, going 4-0 with a 1.38 ERA in four career starts.

The left-hander also has been effective on the road, going 4-1 with a 2.91 ERA in his last seven outings. He allowed one run and seven hits in eight innings Tuesday at Seattle.

Athletics rookie Trevor Cahill (6-12, 5.06) is 0-3 with a 6.87 ERA in his last three starts. The 21-year-old right-hander pitched pretty good in his last outing, however, giving up three runs and eight hits in seven innings Tuesday at Baltimore, which tells you how bad he was in the starts before that.

Oakland is just 15-23 against southpaws this year, and 0-4 in Cahill's last four starts. Chicago hasn't swept the A's in Oakland since May 1997, but I think that all ends today. Take the White Sox in this one.

Another solid Run Line winner ...
200? DETROT TIGERS (WITH Galarraga over Davies) - Alright guys, not getting too long-winded on this one … need a breather today, and want to enjoy the four-figure week. Thus, let’s hit the high points of this game, get some action in and gear up for tomorrow night’s football action.

Detroit suddenly erupted for 16 hits in a 10-3 win over Kansas City, and is still getting productive pitching as well. The Tigers’ 21-inning shutout streak ended in the first inning, and that was okay, as they plated runs in every inning but the fourth yesterday.

Today the offensive momentum should continue with no problem, as Detroit always hits with confidence when facing Kyle Davies, who has a 7.01 ERA in losing five straight starts against Detroit and is 1-6 with a 6.03 ERA in seven career starts against the Tigers.

On the flip side, we’re siding with Armando Galarraga, who has been quite successful against the Royals, going 2-0 with a 1.67 ERA while striking out 28 in 27 innings during four starts. And though is 1-2 with a 7.64 ERA in his most recent three outings this season, he’s taking on a Royals team that has lost three of four (scoring a combined four runs in the defeats) and that is hitting a bleak .232 in its last 11 road contests, losing eight of them.

This is too easy today guys; lay the RUN LINE today on this winner and get your helmet on for tomorrow night! I’m hitting the gym and getting pumped up, I suggest you do the same.

Game: Toronto at Tampa Bay (1:35 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Tampa Bay -180 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 1.7)

The Blue Jays are just 24-34 on the road this season and in division games they are downright awful, having gone 16-28 on the season, scoring only 4.0 runs per game. At home, the Rays rock. They are 37-19, scoring 5.6 runs per game. They have struggled recently having lost five of their last six, but they are off a win and this is a good game to keep the momentum going. Four of those five losses were on the road and the one loss at home came at the hands of Roy Halladay, so don't be too concerned about the recent performance. The Rays start Matt Garza who has a 3.80 overall ERA which drops to 3.29 at home. Marc Rzepczynski goes for Toronto and he's got a 1-3 record and 6.75 ERA over his last three starts. When the Jays are off 2+ straight road games this season, they are 18-30. Tampa Bay is 35-11 at home in day games the past two seasons and 37-8 as a home favorite of -150 to -180. There's great value on the Rays here, even at this price.

Game: San Diego at St. Louis (2:15 PM Eastern)
Pick: 5 units on St. Louis -180 (moneyline) (risk 5 to win 2.8)

We've cashed easily and big with the Cards in the first two games of this series and we're going big on them again here in the final game. Baseball is often about streaks and St. Louis has won seven of their last eight games. Eleven days ago they were trailing the Cubs in the NL Central but now the Cardinals own a 4.5 game lead! St. Louis has won 12 of the last 16 vs. San Diego including nine of ten games here at home the past three seasons. Kyle Lohse is 5-3 at home with a 2.81 ERA this season. The righty should give San Diego fits as the Padres are averaging just 3.8 runs per game this season vs. RHP. Over the past three seasons, the Cardinals are 20-4 at home against NL teams batting .250 or worse (San Diego's batting just .242 on the season). San Diego defines road futility. Over the past couple of seasons, San Diego is just 37-81 as a road underdog. This season they are 14-34 after 2+ straight road games and 10-28 on the road coming off a loss. I like the Cardinals a lot here.

Game: San Diego at St. Louis (2:20 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on St. Louis -1.5 runs +120 (runline) (risk 3 to win 3.6)

St. Louis has found it easy to score against the Pirates, Reds and Padres. They've won seven of eight againt these teams, averaging 6.0 runs per game during the stretch, batting .333. The Padres allow 5.9 runs per game on the road on the season. Despite getting +1.5 on the run line virtually every game, they have still lost half of their road games to that line. At a run line of +1.5 with odds between +165 and -135, the Padres are just 7-15 this season. When playing a third-consecutive road game, they are 19-29 vs. the run line this season. St. Louis, meanwhile is a .500 team at home to the run line (usually -1.5). They are 17-10 to a -1.5 run line when the odds are between +135 to -190.

Game: Pittsburgh at Chicago Cubs (2:25 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 units on Game Total UNDER 10 +120 (risk 2 to win 2.4)

This total is set at 10 but that doesn't jive with how these two starting pitchers have been tossing. Granted, neither has has a good year overall, but Ross Ohlendorf has posted a 2.95 ERA over his last three starts while Rich Harden has put up a 3.00 ERA over his last three. While the Pittsburgh bullpen has been subpar, Chicago's has been great at home (3.38 ERA). The Pirates average just 3.6 runs per game on the road this season and 3.5 against division opponents. Over their last seven games, they have managed just 2.4 per game. Chicago averages just 4.5 runs per game vs. RHP so it's hard for me to see how this game reaches 11 runs. The recent history of these starters indicates this game goes UNDER.

Game: Chicago White Sox at Oakland (4:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Oakland +110 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 3.3)

It's been over 12 years since Chicago has recorded a road sweep vs. the As. I like Oakland to avoid it. John Danks is definitely the better starter here as Trevor Cahill has struggled all season long. But this line is fishy as it appears they are begging you to take the White Sox. Chicago is on the better run, they have the better starter who has never lost to Oakland, and the bullpens and the offenses are pretty even. But when things look too good, they usually are. Cahill, a rookie, is coming off four straight losses, but he may have turned a corner in his last outing, yielding just three runs and eight hits with no walks in seven innings to Baltimore. Chicago seems to let down against struggling pitchers. They are 8-14 this season vs. pitchers that strike out three or fewer batters per game. They are also 3-12 vs. pitchers that allow 1+ home runs per game. The Sox also struggle this season after a good defensive performance as they are 13-23 after allowing two or fewer runs last game. This is a good spot for a Sox letdown and I like Oakland to stave off the sweep.

Game: Chicago White Sox at Oakland (4:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Oakland +1.5 runs -150 (runline) (risk 4 to win 2.7)

Asking Chicago to win on the road here by 2+ runs is asking a lot. Oakland is motivated to avoid the embarrassing home sweep and they have enough offense to keep this one close, if not win it. Over the past two seasons, the A's are 22-13 vs. the run line at home when revenging back-to-back losses against an opponent. Chicago averages just 4.5 runs per game vs. RHP and coming off a very good performance last start, I expect Trevor Cahill to hold his own in this one. I like Oakland +1.5 here.
