Makes me lean to the good guys. It seems that nearly everyone on this forum is on the cubs. But how can you trust that shitty BP. Fair enough, the good guys BP sucks too, but it's better than the cubs. The sox and cubs offense is equal, with the cubs hitting more right now. Every person in the sox lineup is a threat, vs a few people in the cubs lineup.
I really want to pull the trigger on the sox, but still need more encouragement

South I'm on Cubs. If you have a gut feeling about the sox then buddy go with sox. You know and I know nothing is guranteed. One team will win but we do not know who will. If we knew who would win then we would all be playing in + money everyday.

Some posters are on a chase system will surely play Cubs again if they lose, or Sox if they lose. I saw parlays with Sox on and maybe hedge later on in the day if they win. Both teams are not very reliable to me but if I had to, maybe first five innings Cubs minus a half run at-105.

I pulled the trigger on the sox too, samardjiza has been very very good, but I am not completely sold on huim and I think he has a little vulnerability against lefties. deAza hit close to 350 agains right handers and Dunn is over 300 ,,, likelwise Pierzinsky is 300 against right handed pitchers.
As you suggest, neither bullpen will win any awards except a stink competition.
Humber pitched welll against a good hitting KC team last outing. and he just might be coming back to better form. whereas , I am waiting on the day that samardjiza cant throw anything but meat balls. I hope today is that day.
