ChiSox (+110) for 2 Units
The White Sox are now rolling in Oakland --on a 5-1 run. We'll look for that run to be extended today behind Freddy Garcia. The 'Sox are 38-14 on the road with Garcia, who has been consistently giving Chicago a chance to win all season. Chicago is 14-2 after allowing 5 runs or more, and they're 10-2 in game 2 of a series; they're also 25-10 on Saturdays, and won 14 of their last 20 vs right handed pitchers. On the other hand, the A's are just 5-14 in their last 20 vs winning teams. And Oakland is a mere 2-7 with Mazzaro at home. Mazzaro is pitching great, but Chicago has been awfully good vs righties this month (.310 batting average). We'll grab Chicago.

Toronto Blue Jays vs Detroit Tigers Total 8½ ov-102 10*
Too much respect here for both pitchers in my opinion. Marcum has been marginal at best his last 3 starts allowing over 1.5 baserunners per inning and posting an ERA of 4.20 during that span. Porcello has been much worse getting hit hard to the tune of a 7.02 ERA before being sent down to the minors and on the year allows 1.6 baserunners per inning. Both pitchers are giving up more than 4 runs per in home/away situations and when pitching at night the numbers are inflated even more. Over is 12-2 in Marcums last 14 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Over is 6-1 in Marcums last 7 road starts vs. a team with a winning record. Over is 4-1 in Marcums last 5 starts as a favorite. Over is 4-1 in Marcums last 5 road starts.
This game gets over the total by the 6th inning for my 10* Play of the Day!
