Play: Money Line: -149 Chicago White Sox Pick Title: Alex Smart, The Smart Money, Comp Selection

The White Sox (7-4) and Athletics (8-5) go head to head tonight in what in the recent past been a heated rivalry. The Pale Hose will send left-hander Mark Buehrle, who is off a top notch performance in his last outing on April 6 against the Tigers, allowing two runs , including one earned on seven hits in seven innings in a 13-2 win. The White Sox lefty has not faired well as a visitor to Oakland, going 0-6, but is much better at home, registering a 3-3 record along with a 2.76 ERA in seven starts and two relief appearances at U.S. Cellular Field, vs the Athletics. Greg Smith goes for Oakland, while making just his second career start. The 24-year-old left-hander pitched six innings in his major league debut on Wednesday, allowing three runs , but was less than perfect, suffering some control problems, that looked to be centered around a weak release point, that I feel ,will once again , have an effect on his performance tonight in the cool confines of South Side Chicago. Final notes & Key Trends: The Pale Hose have won 5 of the L/6 meetings in this series here in this park.
