10* 'COACH'S CORNER!' (+$26,000 BIG TICKET MLB!)
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. Chi White Sox,
Money Line: -152.00 Chi White Sox (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: Enough is enough! The White Sox are in the playoffs, but they've lost six straight and seven of their last eight. Suffice it to say, I expect the ChiSox to finally break through here and earn a victory. The White Sox sit one game behind the Twins for the division crown and in a tie now with the Indians. With two games left, anything can happen. I'll call Lester and Dunning a "wash," here, but the difference comes in the numbers/trends.

The pick: As note that the Cubs are just 2-7 in their last nine after a ten runs or higher victory in their last outing (won 10-0 in yesterday's series opener), while the White Sox are 10-4 in their last 14 after allowing ten or more runs in a home loss in their previous outing. I love the "hungrier" team here to finally get off the schneid.

This is a 10* COACH'S CORNER on the Chicago White Sox.
