10* VERY EARLY *BALL-CRUSHER!* (+$21K BIG TICKET RUN!)
(MLB) Chi White Sox vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: 157.00 Chi White Sox (Away)
Result: Loss
The set-up: Yes, Yu Darvish has looked very good for the Cubs to start the season, but so too has Dylan Cease for the White Sox. Off their 7-4 win yesterday, I like the ChiSox to deliver the goods here as well. Cease (4-1, 3.16 ERA) allowed two runs over six innings with three K's in a victory over the Tigers on Tuesday. Cease enters on top form, having won his last four starts and posting three quality outings during that stretch.

The pick: Darvish (4-1, 1.80) allowed one run off eight hits while striking out seven in a win over the Cardinals on Tuesday. Darvish appears as he's finally returning to his former dominant form which he had when he was a member of the Rangers, but regression is imminent in my opinion. Darvish was 6-8 with a 3.98 ERA last year and I think he'll finally stumble here. Look for the White Sox to build off yesterday's big win and let's grab up that PLUS MONEY!

This is a 10* BALL-CRUSHER on the Chicago White Sox.
