MLB YTD: 15-13 (+.40 units)
Chicago White Sox / Baltimore Orioles OVER 8.5 (+102) (4 units to win 4.08)
Even with Eric DuBose having some success this season, I feel this is the spot where he gets roughed up a bit.
Chicago White Sox are one of the best offenses against lefty starters. They average 7.2 runs per game & bat .308 against them. Not surprising and all when the heart of the lineup consists of Ordonez, Thomas, Lee, Konerko, Crede, and Olivo...all of which are righty bats.
Opposing the Orioles will be Esteban Loiaza. Loiaza is out to a great start again and dominated the Orioles last year. But I think the Orioles get to him a bit. The Orioles also have tremendous success against a typical pitcher...righties. They average 6 runs per game and bat around .285 against them.
Brian Roberts and Melvin Mora are making life tough for opposing pitchers as a one-two punch. They were a combined 4-for-8 on Monday and are 17-for-37 in the past four games.
White Sox are 5-1 OVER against left-handed starters
Orioles are 11-5 OVER against right-handed starters
Orioles are 5-1 OVER at home when the total is 9 to 9.5
Orioles are 10-3 OVER in night games
