    Close to a +150 money line for the sox with costillo on the mound who pitched a gem for the white sox last time out does appear to have excellent value here especially after the sweep in Detroit this past weekend but wait!

    The sox are 27-34 on the road this year (away from their ballpark) and the cubs are ten games over at 36-26 

    Even though the cubs had their hands full with St. Louis this past weekend you really need to respect their tough division not to mention their overall record that stands at an impressive 21 games over 500 (72-53)

    The cubs lefty shota will be looking to even his record tonight sitting at 8-9 with the white sox having a record this season of 18-20 against Lefty's this year.

    I'm a diehard Sox fan with season tickets and it appears the Chicago Cubs are the play in this game but I won't be playing this game as I don't play on my home teams.

    Just thought I would throw out a thread with a proceed with a caution warning because after all the value which looks to good to be true with the Chicago white sox, I believe as a sox fan may just end up being sour kool-aid so don't drink to much of it.

    Thoughts and rebuttals are always welcome

    Nice post. Agree 100%. Castillo shut out Cincy, his old team, through 7, but the Cubbies ain't Cincy. Much better line-up.

    Bookies are sending bettors an email by putting the Cubs a 3/2 fav in this match-up.

    BOL,

    Cross-city rivalries are always unpredictable, are they not?
