The Chicago White Sox send their ace Mark Buehrle to the mound in this matinee vs. the Minnesota Twins and young Brian Duensing, and we feel this is enough of a pitching mismatch to play the White Sox on the Run Line.

Now granted, Duensing has pitched well in his first three starts, but before going seven innings in his last start vs. the Texas Rangers, he went just five innings in each of his first two starts. Furthermore, one of those outings came against these White Sox, making them the first Major League team to face him for a second time. It is not as if Duensing was a highly touted prospect, so we see Chicago making the necessary adjustments and getting to him here today.

Now Buehrle may have peaked with his Perfect Game, but then again, who would not? Still, he did finally look more like his old self last time, limiting a powerful New York Yankees lineup to two runs in six innings only to get an unlucky No Decision. And face it, Buehrle has much more of a proven record than the Minnesota youngster.

As good as Buehrle looked against the Yankees, we feel he could improve even more today, and with all the value now sucked out of the Money Line in this game, we will lay the Run Line at decent plus odds.
