darrell,

Sorry guys. Right now we can't hit the broad side of a barn. We'll keep plugging away.

Good luck today...

*Chicago/LA ANAHEIM Under 8.5 Runs (8:05 Eastern)

We were on the wrong side of a bad call on Tuesday as umpire Doug Eddings inexplicably reversed a strike 3 call in the ninth to allow Chicago to come back and win. The first two games have racked up a total number of runs (8) that's less than this one as small ball has proven the way in this series. John Lackey goes for LA. He's hot with a 1.65 ERA over his last three starts. Garland pitches for the Sox and he's very well rested, having pitched last on October 1st against Cleveland. Both of these bullpens have ERAs under 2.70 on the road/at home respectively. The Sox are 16-3 UNDER as an underdog of +125 to +175 this season and 14-5 UNDER on the road after allowing 3 runs or less 3 straight games. Garland is 11-2 UNDER when the total is 8 to 8.5 this season and 16-5 UNDER vs. teams scoring 4.7 or less runs/game in the second half of the season over the last 3 seasons. Lackey is 10-1 UNDER when playing against a team with a winning record in the second half of the season this season. Finally, In the league championship series, if either team has won 4 of their last 5 games (Chicago has), the UNDER has come through 71% of the time (44-18) since since 1997. One star UNDER here.
