MLB - 929 Chicago White Sox @ 930 Philadelphia Phillies
(Starting Pitchers: J. Danks vs J. Pettibone)
The White Sox are coming to tonight's game with some momentum after a big series win at Detroit. They will start John Danks tonight, who is coming from three awesome starts where he had 54, 94 and 39 FIP- in those games. When you see a LH pitcher having a 2.50 FIP on an outing where he faces the #1 ranked offense versus LH pitchers, I guess this shows how impressive Danks has been lately. Philadelphia has been hitting a bit better lately, but I expect the in-form Danks to have another good outing tonight.
On the other hand, Jonathan Pettibone will start for the Phillies and he is coming from three decent outings against Atlanta, Pittsburgh and the LA Dodgers. However, I have to note that his P/IP rate continues being quite high with 18.0, 18.0 and 16.0 on his last three games. Thanks to that, he couldn't get past the sixth inning in any of his last nine starts. This forces Philadelphia's bullpen to be in action early and they aren't good at all, so this is a clear problem for the Phillies. Therefore, I believe the White Sox have a great opportunity to carry their momentum even further tonight and so, I'll be taking them in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 929 Chicago White Sox ML (w/ J. Danks) @ +108 / 2.08 on Bovada
