I endured a sub par 2 days and had to take off friday and saturday to get my bearings, my mojo, or whatever you want to call it back...after watching these past 2 days, i am absolutely in love with this one play on sunday and will make this my exclusive interleague total of the year...all my exclusive plays are 6-1 for the year including my first half goy play on atlanta 10 days ago against tampa bay....

BEST OF LUCK TO THOSE THAT FOLLOW

CUBS VS WHITE SOX OVER 8 RUNS

cubbies are batting .282 (#4 mlb rank against lefties) and are one of the best teams against all left hand pitching... The starting pitching isnt getting it done in cubbie land this season... And ryan dempster isnt the savior today either... Grant it he has had a decent 4 games for the month of june (3.08 era) but lets look at those games...seattle batting .240 for june ~ oakland, he caught them on their hitting slide where they scored only 20 runs in 8 straight games ~ milwaukee batting .249 in june and dempy caught them right before their current hot streak ~ houston has the worse batting average in all of baseball ~ .237 this season... Decent games yes, but the quality of those games isnt up to my standards...dempster has given up a whopping 25 rbis in 133 abs (5.5 per 9 innings) lifetime against this white sox lineup... He is 1-4 lifetime in against chicago with a 5.06 era and a whopping whip in the range of 1.63 while opponents have batted .306 .... Although the cubbies are a top 10 pitching staff, you cant win games without no runs ~ and in the windy city, scoring is a must... Soriano is starting to warm up, batting .412 over the last 7 games but until they get consistent production from the rest of the lineup then i hate to say ~~ things arent going to change...

I do think they will score more than their 1.8 runs and 6.6 hits per a game against these white sox that they have averaged this season this afternoon... John danks is one of my favorite young lefties and he is rolling right now winning 3 straight posting a 2.05 era.... But history repeats itself time and time again therefore you should know that mr. Danks has never won 4 consecutive starts... He has in 2008 had 6 straight wins without a loss if you count the no decisions.... He isnt one of those dominant consecutive starters that win start after start... Sure he will give you a good start but he isnt in that caliper yet... On the other hand since we are on the over in this game its good to know that he is 6-3 to the over in his next start after consecutive wins and something like 9-3 if you count the no decisions in his career....

The white sox offense is just tearing it up .... For a team to bat just .250 for the year and now post a ..305 over its last 7 days is a big turn around.... Which is probably the reason of their recent success.... But i think the real reason to their success is the chemistry in the clubhouse.... Winning is contagious and this streak has the team playing like the early to mid 2000's when 6/7/8 win streaks were common....

FINAL THOUGHT

the problem has been getting runners on base and scoring runs for the cubs this season... I think the frustrations with the zambrano antics caused an jolt to the hitters as they got 8 hits yesterday but managed only 2 runs .... I just feel looking at this game that the bats for the cubs will start to come alive...the white sox will fight a battle here just to keep there streak alive with regards to a sweep there cross town rival and look to improve on there 15-1 last 16 record / 20-6 their last 26 against nl centra / 22-7 in interleague games against teams with losing record / 41-16 as a favorite in interleague games, so im expecting a lot of runs in this one.... Keep in mind of the danks over stat and his umpire gary darling who has called over games in 12 of his last 16 roadies with chicago, while 10 out of his last 14 sundays have gone over as well.....

Still think the white sox streak contines and im backing a white sox 7-4 win
