19 games total, extremely difficult schedule.. White Sox's haven't been manufacturing many runs for over a month.

In these 19 games, what do you think their record will be during this stretch????

 

[Psylence]

8 games, give or take 10 :thumbsup:

 

[NYOrange]

You noted 19 games btw - and at best I say they go 10-9. I'd say 8-11 or so is more realistic.

 

[gynecologist]

Thanks for clearing that up NY

 

[gynecologist]

I think you guys are being awfully generous... Considering they will be dogs in the well majority of these games I recommend you guys bet them blindly in every game..


I say the MAX is 7 wins.. Could do worse, very tough schedule.

Bats are dead - but Beuhrle, Floyd, and Danks make up a pretty decent front 3

 

[dopenose420]

I say anywhere from 7-9.

 

[gynecologist]

You guys realize the White sox have scored more than 5 runs in only 5 of their last 32 games, right??

Don't know if you can put Beuhlre in there...hasn't won since his perfect game and is getting rocked everytime out for the most part.

Only 2.5 games behind Detroit...they still going to play hard and try to make one push, IMO.

BTW, you only need 1 run to win. <><>

I hear ya - still couldn't leave him out though

Yeah - who knows, he might just click the final 5 weeks of the season and be back to his 'Ace' self.

I'm going to periodically update this thread, feel free to post guesses...

Lets see who gets the closest..

Put me down for --------6-13---------

 

[pj.sports]

i say 7-12

 

[MTL_Expos2003]

7-12

 

[gynecologist]

If you guys are right and the opposing team is -165 or lighter on average, you guys could profit on this..

You could make a profit off a flat betting system if you faded them...really doubt they would win 10 games.

 

[NickelsAndDimes]

all 4 at boston are very loseable, 1-3 at best, at NYY will be a slaughter, they always struggle in the dome at Minny, after those 10 games, theyll be under .500 Ozzie will have exploded and they will have packed it in....6-13 they will win some at home....3-7 at best in the first 10

 

[NYOrange]

Forgot about Peavy too...he could join the rotation some time in September if they're still in contention.

Could be a little rusty coming off the DL...plus you think he'll make that transition to the AL that well with the schedule ahead (IE: John Smoltz).

Just playing devils advocate..
