The Chicago White Sox and Cubs have more in common than a state address this season. Both teams had high expectations for 2010 \u2013 especially the White Sox \u2013 but both teams have fallen on their faces. <\/p>\n
Maybe a passionate inner-city Sunday night matchup could be the wakeup call they need.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s allowed half as many runs as counterpart Gavin Floyd yet has fewer wins. <\/p>\n Gavin Floyd (2-6, 6.18) On one hand, it\u2019s beyond time to panic for the White Sox regarding Gavin Floyd. After all, they depended on him to be a rock in the middle of the rotation after his breakout 2009 campaign and he\u2019s been anything but in 2010. On the other hand, Floyd has been one of baseball\u2019s least lucky pitchers this year; his opponents\u2019 batting average on balls in play is .369. <\/p>\n That number makes sense considering that his walk, strikeout and homer rates are all right around what they were last year. <\/p>\n So while Floyd\u2019s road numbers are extremely ugly (1-4, 6.67 ERA), it\u2019s possible that his luck is about to turn. His last start hinted at that; he allowed no earned runs in six innings against the Tigers, striking out eight. <\/p>\n In fact, he\u2019s allowed three or fewer runs in three of four starts. <\/p>\n While he isn\u2019t getting run support, Ted Lilly seems fully recovered from his offseason surgery now; he\u2019s back to his usual efficient self and has six straight quality starts. <\/p>\n But the Chicago White Sox give him tons of trouble historically. Sure, he\u2019s 5-2 in 10 starts against them, but he has a 5.94 ERA and 13 homers allowed in just 53 innings. He can\u2019t seem to keep the ball down against Paul Konerko (.286, three homers in 21 at-bats) or Mark Kotsay (.444 career hitter against Lilly). <\/p>\n I see the Sunday nighter as a good opportunity to make money on the White Sox as a dog. <\/p>\n On the surface, the Cubs seem like the logical choice, but a closer look at the numbers suggest Floyd will keep improving and that Lilly\u2019s bad track record against the Pale Hose will catch up to him.<\/p>\n Gambling Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n Chicago White Sox are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games on the road Sunday Night Baseball FREE PICK for Chicago White Sox vs Chicago Cubs<\/strong><\/p>\n Pick: Chicago White Sox<\/p>\n ESPN Sunday Night Baseball Prediction (Shea Matthews\u2019 record: 5-3)<\/p>\n Baseball – Sunday Night Contest<\/strong><\/p>\n Get paid to watch TV?
