Both of these teams are struggling offensively, and with a couple of capable starting pitchers in the game, runs should be hard to come by.

Jon Garland tossed a gem at Oakland in his last start for the White Sox, pitching seven scoreless innings and allowing only three hits. He also pitched another masterpiece the last time he faced the Rangers, allowing only six hits in 8.1 scoreless innings last July. His task should be made even easier by the fact that Texas is batting a woeful .217 vs. right-handed pitching in the early going.

Robinson Tejada showed enormous potential after getting called up by the Rangers last season, and he certainly started this season with a bang by allowing just two hits in seven shutout innings vs. Boston. Granted he was promptly bombed in his next start, but Tejada has the stuff to bounce back strong tonight, especially vs. a White Sox lineup that is batting a dismal .222 as a team. This will also be the first time that Chicago has ever faced Tejada, which is generally an advantage for the pitcher.

The Under is now 7-1-1 in the last nine White Sox games overall, as well as 6-2 the last eight times Garland has started against Texas, so look for both of those streaks to continue tomorrow night.

Bet on the Texas Rangers/ Chicago White Sox U 9

The San Deigo Padres starting pitcher Greg Maddux looked fantastic against the Giants in his last outing, allowing six hits over six scoreless innings while striking out six batters for the win. Wade Miller, his Cubs right handed opponent (0-1, 13.50) looked shaky in his opening assignment giving up 6 runs on 9 hits in just 4 innings of work. Considering the pitching matchup, betting on the Padres here looks like a viable bet. San Diego has won 7 of the Last 8 meetings in this series. Cubs are 9-23 in the last 31 as underdogs.

Bet the Padres!!
