Chicago at Oakland

The Chicago White Sox can tie the American League record for consecutive losses tonight after losing their 20th in a row on Sunday by a 13-7 score against Minnesota. The White Sox are 10-47 on the road and Oakland is just two games under .500 at home as the Athletics are much-improved from last season. JP Sears will start tonight and he comes off seven shutout innings on three hits against San Francisco on Tuesday and Oakland has won five of his past six starts. Oakland has won Sears' past four starts when he has five days rest and it has won his past five outings versus teams with losing records. The Athletics have won the first game of a series six times in a row and they have won five of nine overall. Take the Athletics.
