The 2012 Kentucky Derby Odds is aright around the corner the Kentucky Derby Odds are up right now. the Life is perfect for Philip Humber – on and off the field. Humber left the White Sox on Tuesday to fly back to Chicago to be with his wife for the birth of their child, but is expected to make his start Thursday when the White Sox host the Boston Red Sox. Humber pitched the 21st perfect MLB Picks game in major league history Saturday in a 4-0 victory at Seattle and there will be no lack of confidence – or the adrenaline that comes with becoming a father – when he faces Boston.
Humber, though, will face a resurgent Red Sox team that has rebounded from a five-game losing streak with a sweep at Minnesota in which they scored 24 runs. Boston counters with Felix Doubront, who allowed only one run against the Yankees in his last start. The White Sox finished their road trip 4-2 after a 5-4 loss in 14 innings to Oakland on Wednesday. Boston’s David Ortiz is hitting .424 while Chicago’s Paul Konerko has also started fast at .357. Check out the best Handicappers at the Sports Monitor.
