4* Money Maker
(MLB) Detroit vs. Chi White Sox,
Money Line: -117.00 Chi White Sox (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking the WHITE SOX here. We have been on the Shields bandwagon lately with mixed results taking 2 straight losses while giving up 3 runs in 15+ innings. The guy has a 1.91 ERA his last 4 starts and needs some more run support, which should be readily available facing Mike Pelfrey. Pelfrey's ERA has dipped under 5, but the guy is still allowing hitters to rack him at a .332 clip. 332! A WHIP of 1.76. 134 hits allowed in 100 innings. Plus his K/BB ratio is basically even at 46-42. I guess you can say he has respectable 3.53 ERA in 10 road starts (0-6). But again. A 294 BA against and 1.73 WHIP look to me like he is a time bomb on the opposing pitchers mound. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO WHITE SOX
