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
