The Chicago White Sox were one loss shy of 100 a year ago. This season, they do have some developing pitchers, and a lineup that is a year more mature, and starting to produce some runs. The Pale Hose have scored five or more runs in 8 of their 11 games, including 7 and 9 in the first two in this series vs. the Indians. A sure sign of change is taking place here in Chicago, who fell 17 times in 19 games vs. the Tribe last season, and have a chance in game 3 of their first encounter of this season to surpass that total. Justin Masterson has not been sharp yet, and needed a whooping 97 pitches to navigate 11 outs vs. the Twins. THe Indians have taken the doughnut behind Masterson vs. a winning team on the road where they are 0-7 in his last seven starts in this spot. Go with the sizzling White Sox here.
