The White Sox and coach Ozzie Guillen opened as 130 favorites to roll to victory Wednesday against the Indians.
The Indians start Cliff Lee, 0-0, 0 ERA. His last trip was a loss, a 1-0 team loss against the Devil Rays, when he threw 8 innings, allowing 1 run on 6 hits.
Sporting a 1-1 overall record and a 1-1 mark within the division, the White Sox aim to knock the Indians (1-1 in the division) for a loss.
The Indians come in as a slight road dog and look to improve on their 1-1 mark. The White Sox, 1-1, will try to take the cash from dog bettors, while totals bettors see the line opened at 9.
Eric Wedge's troops went to Chicago last game and came away with an 8-2 win, a game that went over 9. Oddsmakers had them as 155 underdogs in that one.
Don't expect Chicago to beat themselves at the plate by striking out a lot. The selective White Sox batters are in the top three in the league, fanning just 4.5 times per game.
Some trends to consider:
Cleveland is 2-6-1 OU in its last 9 games
Cleveland is 2-4-0 OU in its last 6 games against Chicago
Cleveland is 14-6-0 SU in its last 20 games after scoring 7 to 9 runs
Cleveland is 5-1-0 OU in its last 6 away
Chicago is 5-0-0 SU in its last 5 games after scoring 1 to 3 runs
Chicago is 8-1-0 OU in its last 9 games at home against Cleveland
Chicago is 7-1-0 OU in its last 8 games
Chicago is 4-1-0 OU in its last 5 at home
Next up:
Cleveland home to Minnesota, Friday, April 7
Chi White Sox at Kansas City, Friday, April 7
