Atlanta at Chicago

It has been an empty season for the Chicago White Sox. At 18 games below .500, there will be an expected fire sale before the deadline, and chances are that this team is going to have problems finding motivation going forward with an expected dismissal of talent as well. John Danks has struggled after surgery, and has just two wins all season. Surprisingly, left-handed hitters are hitting .292 against him with 5 HRs in just 72 at bats. He has also been poor with runners in scoring position, allowing opposing hitters to hit .323. Tim Hudson has an unimpressive 4.02 ERA on the season, but has won his last two starts, and has pitched strong over his last eight starts, posting a 2.45 ERA during that time. The Braves own a 35-17 mark behind Hudson in his last 52 starts as a favorite. The White Sox own an unfavorable 1-8 mark in Dank's last nine interleague starts as a dog. Play on Atlanta.
