SYDNEY ST GEORGE
(MLB) BOSTON/MINNESOTA UNDER 8 +100 (8PM) ** 2 UNIT PLAY**
The Twins (26-18) have become a force at Target Field after opening the series with Monday's 7-2 win, bumping them to an AL-best 15-6 at home. Mike Pelfrey (3-1, 3.00 ERA) yielded a run and five hits in six innings of Wednesday's 4-3 win in Pittsburgh.
Pelfrey's work at home has been his best with a 1-0 record and 2.35 ERA in three starts. The Red Sox can't seem to produce any offense on the road lately with 13 runs in their last seven games. Clay Buchholz (2-5, 4.58) lost his last start after allowing three runs -- two earned -- and five hits in 7 1/3 innings of Thursday's 3-1 home defeat against Texas, but his numbers continued heading in the right direction. In his last three starts, the right-hander is 1-1 with a 2.49 ERA and .200 opponent batting average. This game should be a low scoring game 3-2 4-2 type of game.
(MLB) CHIACGO/TORONTO OVER 9 -115 (7PM)
Toronto pitcher Dickey (2-4, 5.49 ERA) had complete-game 8-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday, but prior to that game he managed one quality start in his last six tries with 6.93 ERA. The White Sox (19-23) have hit Dickey hard in each of their two meetings since he joined Toronto, scoring 12 runs with six homers over 11 innings. Danks (2-4, 5.11) yielded five runs, six hits and four walks in 5 1/3 innings of a 5-2 loss to Cleveland on Thursday. Both pitchers have struggled. Look for that to continue.
