Sunday's play 10 Dime -- White Sox (Danks) over ATHLETICS (Cahill)
WHITE SOX
NOTE: List only Danks as Chicago's starting pitcher
John Danks (10-8, 4.04 ERA) is more successful against Oakland than he is against any other team, going 4-0 with a 1.38 ERA in four career starts.
The left-hander also has been effective on the road, going 4-1 with a 2.91 ERA in his last seven outings. He allowed one run and seven hits in eight innings Tuesday at Seattle.
Athletics rookie Trevor Cahill (6-12, 5.06) is 0-3 with a 6.87 ERA in his last three starts. The 21-year-old right-hander pitched pretty good in his last outing, however, giving up three runs and eight hits in seven innings Tuesday at Baltimore, which tells you how bad he was in the starts before that.
Oakland is just 15-23 against southpaws this year, and 0-4 in Cahill's last four starts. Chicago hasn't swept the A's in Oakland since May 1997, but I think that all ends today. Take the White Sox in this one.
ucking: up this one...along w/ the bullpen...what a frustrating loss!
