MLB:
Texas Rangers at Chicago White Sox (-125, 9)Roy Oswalt picked up his second win in a Rangers uniform last week, but he did get swatted around a bit. Oswalt gave up 13 hits and five earned runs over six innings of a 13-9 victory over Detroit. Meanwhile, Chris Sale is getting ready to head to his first All Star Game and has allowed more than three runs just once in hist last eight starts. Most of the recent meetings between the two teams have seen 9.5-run totals, so maybe that’s why early bettors like the over here.
