Chicago Cubs favored on the run line as White Sox bullpen faces serious availability concerns

I didn't have the best day yesterday as I went 0-2 on the diamond.

Neither of the games was a terrible call; they just didn't go the way that I wanted them to go.

The Phillies only won by one run, when I needed them to cover the run line (in this case, I guess putting up the -220 was a better option than the -1.5 at -110).

Then the Mets squeaked out a victory over the Padres, winning the game 2-1, and handing me another loss.

I probably should've just gone with the under, but that's easy to say now.

Let's make some of that cash back in a cross-town rivalry series between the White Sox and Cubs.

The Chicago White Sox are significantly better than anyone expected them to be this season.

They come into today's game with a lead in the American League Central, and they are six games above .500.

They can't let their foot off the gas, as they have three teams within 5.5 games of them, and there are still roughly 35 games to play.

For a team that doesn't really have any superstars and doesn't have a true Ace on the roster (aside from maybe Luis Castillo, who is having a down year), this is a really impressive season for the team.

The White Sox lost the opener (more on that later), and now look to even up the series.

Tonight, they send out Bryan Hudson to the hill.

Hudson is more of an opener than a true starter, as he has had a lot of work out of the bullpen.

This is not the first time Hudson has "started" a game; this is the seventh time.
