Sport: MLBPick Selection: white sox
At 3:55pm our complimentary selection is on the Chicago White Sox over the Houston Astros. I doubt that anybody welcomes the arrival of seventeen days of interleague play more than Ozzie Guillen and the Chicago White Sox. The Sox are 2-11 in their last thirteen games but 24-8 in their last 32 interleague games. Jason Jennings is still winless on the year despite one of the best starting ERAs in the National League at 3.13. I'm still not sure how that can be possible, except that Houston simply can't score any runs. The Astros are having one of their worst seasons in quite some time, and the frustration seems to be getting to their players, like Lance Berkman, who perhaps in an effort to shake himself up and out of a painful start to the season was ejected from games twice in the past week and will serve a two game suspension at some point soon. Whether or not Berkman's antics get this team going remains to be seen, but with Carlos Lee and young Hunter Pence being about the only productive offensive players, Houston certainly needs a wake-up call of some sort. Despite Friday night's win by the 'Stros, the White Sox have dominated this interleague series, taking seven of the last nine. Take Chicago. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
