well.....consider the fact that you would be betting on a team that was willing to fix yesterday's game......
lee leadoff double 1 run game in top 9, and they dont bunt him over to 3rd to at least tie it?
cubs are a national league team.....they know how to do this......its the sole reason they lost...not why they lost the game...but why they didnt extend the game further
bunt...then lees on 3rd for ramirez w/ 1 out, the most clutch hitter on their team
so why risk being on wrong side of fix again?

3. Buehrle will try to win southpaw battle in Chicago
As the first-place Chicago teams battle tonight on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball, the focus will be on the two lefty starters. The Cubs' Sean Marshall will make his second -- and likely final -- start in place of the injured Carlos Zambrano, while Mark Buehrle will try to continue his hot pitching streak for the home White Sox. After beginning the season 2-6 in his first 12 outings, Buehrle has turned things around in a big way over his last four starts. The 29-year-old has pitched exactly eight innings in each game, and he is 3-0 with a 1.41 ERA in that span. Buehrle has allowed just five runs in 32 innings, and his 2008 ERA, which was 5.26 through May, is down to a respectable 4.04. Following his 6-1 win over the Dodgers on Tuesday

well i must be a sucker cause i took the Cubbies, i wish i could of got +140 this morning, i got +127 around 10:30.
i still don't think the Sox can hit lefties all that good where as the Cubs can, but i worry about the Cubs pen, it is unpredictable at times.
i think Theriot and Soto will be a clutch factor vs. Buehrle, plus Crede has been having back issues for the Sox.
