TED BARRETT works the game between the INDIANS and TWINS. He comes in with a 6-14 O/U record on the year... 2-8 O/U in AL games... and a PERFECT 0-5 O/U in "Righty vs Righty" matchups. He's also on a current streak of 0-6 O/U in his last 6 games. BUT.... we've have two out-of-form starters in Carmona and Blackburn who have gone a combined 6-0 O/U in their last 3 starts.

SCOTT BARRY has been a GREAT "Under' Umpire in the 2009 season, going 8-15 O/U. He'll be working the TIGERS / ORIOLES game. In the first half of the season, he was basically an AUTOMATIC "Under" machine. But he's gone the other direction as of late... going 4-1 O/U in his last 5 games (11.9 RPG). Until he reverts back to his low-scoring form, it's probaly best to PASS in his games right now.

TOM HALLION will be in Philadelphia as the PHILLIES take on the ROCKIES. This is one of the lowest OU lines (8.5) that we've seen all season long in this hitters park. Cliff Lee will be making his first start in his new National League home. Hallion has gone 9-12 O/U on the year. But in his last 4 games, he's gone a PERFCET 0-4 O/U... with an average of only 4.9 combined runs per game.

ANDY FLETCHER takes a gaudy "UNDER" record into KC tonight as the ROYALS take on the MARINERS. In terms of OU percentages, Fletcher is tied for #1 "UNDER" status in the League with a 73% mark and an overall record of 5-14 O/U. This is another case though, of recent form going AGAINST year-to-date form. Fletcher has gone 3-1-1 O/U in his last 5 games. And there will be two pretty crappy pitchers going against other in Vargas and Chen.

Lowe is in good form on a 5-0 run in team starts, including a solid game vs the Dodgers last Saturday. He returns to a park where he pitched successfully; Lowe was 9-5 with a 2.30 ERA in 17 starts at Chavez Ravine. We'll look for him to continue on his winning surge tonight, for he is 5-2 in game 1 of a weries with the Braves. And the Braves' bullpen has been getting it done (2.86 ERA last 10). On the other hand, Randy Wolf, who pitches well at home, has not had success vs the Braves (0-5 7.31 ERA last 10 vs Atlanta), and the Dodger' bullpen has not been as effective as Atlanta's with a 3.72 ERA last 10. We'll stay on Atlanta.

400♦ N.Y. YANKEES RUN LINE (WITH Chamberlain over Smoltz)

Sam Clayton

20 dime - White Sox

As I wrote last Saturday, John Danks has without a doubt been the White Sox' best big game pitcher since last October. He outdueled Nick Blackburn to win the one-game playoff for the AL Central crown, then became the only Sox pitcher to earn a 'W' in the ALDS against the Rays. And so far this season, he's beaten the Angels, Twinkies, Rays, Cubs (twice) and Yankees. Danks is 4-1 with a 3.08 ERA in his last six starts and he's allowed more than three runs only twice his last nine outings. Thursday, the southpaw gets the call again as the South Siders look to continue their torrid pace at home. Chicago has won 10 of 13 games at Comiskey Park including series wins against Baltimore, Tampa Bay and New York. The Sox have had great success against the Halos, having won 5 of 6 this year against L.A. and the Angels are 1-4 their last 5 games in the Windy City. Ervin Santana (3-6, 7.31) toes the rubber for Los Angeles and he's been mediocre to say the least. The once promising right-hander has struggled immensely as of late, posting an 0-1 record with a 10.24 ERA and 1.86 WHIP his last two starts. He's allowed 16 runs his last three starts against the Twins and Royals, two teams that aren't exactly known for their offensive prowess. I don't like Santana's chance in the matinee against the white-hot Chicago bats as the White Sox have plated 40 runs over the last five games. I'm very confident that Danks will rise to the occasion in the finale, just as he's done all season long when the Sox have called his number in big spots.
