Seattle at Chicago

How often can you make a wager on the White Sox at home with Garcia on the mound for the price of -161? The reason why it is relatively low and not as steep as could be expected for the world champs is that Garcia has struggled early this season and has an ERA of nearly 6. Yet, Garcia has won the last 4 games despite the high ERA as he has pitched well regardless of the first game of the season where he got rocked for seven runs. Since then, he has won all of his games and has gone roughly six innings of work in each of those four outings and given up three runs which has been more than sufficient for the Sox offense and bullpen to take over. Although Gil Meche has pitched well of late just giving up 3 runs in 11 innings of work, the opportunity here to take the White Sox in front of their home crowd with Garcia on the mound is too tough to pass up. The Mariners are 0-5 as an underdog of +150 to +200, the White Sox are 6-0 at home versus right handed pitching, and the White Sox are 3-0 of late when Garcia has pitched as the favorite. Let's take the World Champs today on what could be a close game but should have the White Sox prevailing once again.
