Result: Win
The White Sox are on a roll, coming into this afternoon's game against the Blue Jays as winners of six of their last eight. The Jays have dropped five of their last seven, and they send a struggling knuckleballer to the mound today. The price is right to back the home team here in Chicago today.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - R.A. Dickey will be on the hill for the visitors, and he's still win-less on the road this season. Dickey (3-9, 5.02 ERA) gave up five runs on 11 hits over 5.2 innings in a loss at Detroit in his last start. He's 0-6 with a 6.04 ERA in eight starts on the road so far. The White Sox counter with Jeff Samardzija, and he's coming off an outstanding performance in a 3-2 win over Baltimore.
2. Home Cookin' - Samardzija is 3-1 with a 3.06 ERA in seven starts at U.S. Cellular Field. The White Sox are a solid 22-17 at home while Toronto is just 18-25 on the road.
3. X-Factor - The White Sox have won five of their last seven home meetings versus Toronto, and five of Samardzija's ast seven home starts.
Selection: This is a play on the Chicago White Sox (10*)
