10* SITUATIONAL BEATDOWN (+$21,000 BIG TICKET MLB!)
(MLB) Detroit vs. Chi White Sox,
Money Line: -145.00 Chi White Sox (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: The White Sox lost both games of their double header to the Cards on Saturday, but they bounced back with a 7-2 win in the finale on Sunday. I think the ChiSox keep that momentum rolling here in this favorable matchup. The visitors hand the ball to the volatile Matthew Boyd (0-2, 10.24 ERA) who faced these very White Sox last Wednesday and took the loss, getting shelled for seven runs off seven hits over 4.2 innings. In his previous outing he also gave up seven runs over 4.2 innings.

The pick: The home side counters with Gio Gonzalez (0-1, 6.61) who looked decent vs. Detroit last week, allowing two runs over 4 2/3's innings, almost qualifying for the victory. The White Sox bullpen remains a strength as well, as Jimmy Cordero has conceded one of 33 inherited runners to score. All things considered, I think this is a great price on the hungry home side.

This is a 10* SITUATIONAL BEATDOWN on the ChiSox.
