Prediction

Two first place teams begin a weekend series in St. Petersburg and I think the White Sox are worth taking a shot on as an underdog. Martinez has been one of the best pitchers in the league this season, but the White Sox have won five in a row in which Fedde has started and nine of 11. Chicago is coming off a momentum-building series against the Yankees and aren’t afraid of anyone.

Pick: White Sox +127
