White Sox -1.5 +120
The White Sox come in heavy favorites over the Mariners on Thursday, and instead of risking the huge money line on this game, I have the White Sox winning this game easily so instead of having to play -170 odds, I end up getting and underdog at +120. This is an absolute steal of a play if you are looking to bet any run lines on Thursday.

1 Unit on LA Dodgers +141
I like LA's chances of taking this series tonight. Padilla, who has an ERA of only 0.43 over his last 3 starts, isn't getting the respect he deserves here. In fact, the Dodgers are 7-1 in Padilla's last 8 starts vs. the National League West and 5-1 in his last 6 starts during game 3 of a series. Padilla is also an impressive 14-4 against the money line as a road underdog of +125 to +175 over the last 2 seasons. The Dodgers have won 5 of the last 7 meetings between these clubs, including 4 of the last 5 in San Diego. Latos is having a good season, but he is being overvalued here. Take the Dodgers.
