Injury-riddled White Sox resume set in Detroit
Baseball Betting Lines
09/08/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Injuries are starting to pile up for the Chicago White Sox.
Today, the short-handed White Sox will continue their push towards the
postseason, as they play the third installment of a four-game series against
the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.
With Paul Konerko (back) and Gordon Beckham (hand) already sidelined, the
White Sox lost two more players on Tuesday, as starter Freddy Garcia was
forced to leave the contest after just two innings with a stiff back, then
Manny Ramirez was removed in the eighth inning after getting hit in the hand
with a pitch.
Ramirez's injury is not considered serious and he is questionable for
tonight's contest, while the White Sox also expect to have Konerko back.
Beckham was a late scratch on Tuesday, though, and will likely miss the rest
of this series.
It didn't matter who was in the White Sox lineup on Tuesday, however, as
Justin Verlander pitched seven strong innings to lead Detroit to a 9-1 win.
Verlander (15-8) allowed one run on five hits with seven strikeouts for the
Tigers, who bounced back from a 10-inning loss in Monday's opener and won for
the fourth time in their last six games overall.
Brandon Inge belted a three-run homer and Johnny Damon added a two-run blast
in the victory. Jhonny Peralta recorded two RBI for Detroit.
"When he is spotting his breaking ball, he is very good," said Chicago's Mark
Teahen. "Even though he didn't use his best fastball today, when he is getting
his breaking stuff over the plate, it's very tough to hit against him."
Garcia (11-6) was dealt the loss with a line that showed two runs allowed on
three hits. Lucas Harrell provided four innings of long relief and was charged
with four runs -- none of which were earned -- on six hits with two strikeouts
and three walks.
"I have no idea what I've got," said Garcia, who has left his last two starts
with back stiffness. "I was warming in the bullpen fine, and the game [was]
different. When you throw in the bullpen, you go 70 percent. But when you go
in the game, you want to go harder. Obviously, I wasn't able to do it."
Juan Pierre posted two hits and scored the only run for the White Sox, who had
a seven-game winning streak stopped and fell 4 1/2 games behind AL Central-
leading Minnesota. The Twins defeated the Royals on Tuesday.
"Well, I will take 7-1 again and see what happens," Chicago manager Ozzie
Guillen said. "That's part of the game. We all know that Minnesota is playing
well now. They've got a good ballclub, but like I said, I will take 7-1 and
take a chance with that."
Chicago wasn't the only team with an injury concern, as Detroit's Miguel
Cabrera lasted six innings but felt soreness in his shoulder. He is listed as
day-to-day.
Getting the call for the White Sox tonight will be lefty John Danks, who is
13-9 with a 3.56 ERA and will be pitching on three days' rest. Danks won for
the sixth time in his last eight decisions on Saturday in Boston, as he
allowed a run and six hits in seven innings.
Danks tossed seven scoreless innings to beat the Tigers back in June and is
3-3 with a 3.58 ERA in nine starts.
Detroit, meanwhile, will counter with righty Jeremy Bonderman, who is 7-9 with
a 5.25 ERA. Bonderman did not get a decision on Friday in Kansas City, as he
surrendered four runs and seven hits in 7 1/3 innings of his team's 9-5 win.
Bonderman lost to the White Sox back on August 13 and is 6-11 in 18 starts
against them with a 4.81 ERA.
Chicago is 5-2 in Detroit this season.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North.
Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. NFL Betting
