Hmm, last night caught a lot of people by surprise. Not tonight, though. If Ozzie Guillen’s White Sox lose tonight’s game they are the biggest fraud in major league sports. A team with this much advantage and a team that’s been strident about how disrespected and overlooked it’s been all year has to come to play tonight. We’ll take last nights loss as a wake-up call for the White Sox. Mark Buehrle’s been a little sluggish after the All-Star break but he’s been a number one starter for the Sox at times as well. Jarrod Washburn is suffering from, er, a strep throat or the runs or something. Needless to say, the White Sox should be bigger favorites in this game then they were last night and we’d be shocked as pink pickles if this doesn’t go their way.
PICK!: CHW -184

Best Line: CHW -188, LAA +206
Well, this should be easy. The Chicago White Sox fresh off their three-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox enter tonight’s first game of the ALCS rested, ready, and with the most dominating pitcher in the league the second-half of the season in Jose Contreras taking the ball for game one tonight. The exhausted Angels, on the other hand, lead with Paul “Surfin’” Byrd. Nothin’ against Byrd, whose had a fairly serviceable year as an Angels’ starter, but it’s a tough spot to be put in as the only live arm on a team probably in need of some serious decompression since last night’s victory over the Yankees. Yet, the betting public is obviously hopping on the big number as only 53% are taking Chicago at this time. Hmm. We’re hopeful that our Division Series mush is over and done with, but those of you betting against us will have a nice payout if the Angels do somehow make a pit-stop at one of the Midwest’s famous meth labs and gear up for this game. If you see Darin Erstad yanking his teeth out in the third inning, we’ll know that’s the case.
PICK!: CHW -188
