White Sox/Oakland 8
Its 8 at Canbet and their money moves on totals have been good. But the evidence to go over this number is pretty strong:
1. When Buerhle faced Hudson, a superior pitcher to Lidle, in Oakland last year, the number was 9.5; a huge difference considering 9 is a key number.
2. Lidle is coming off a season high pitch count (122)
3. Buerhle was crushed earlier this season in Oakland; 2 2/3 IP 8 earned runs
4. The Sox still have a potent middle of the lineup and a bullpen that could make any road game go over.
The case against:
1. Lidle is razor sharp. No runs allowed in last 2 starts.
2. Buehrle is the Sox ace and could eliminate the Sox bullpen factor.
