Been having some success taking dogs lately, so will take another one tonight: White Sox +161.
Verlander in good form lately and with good career #s vs. CHW, BUT not as good at US Cell (ERA above 4) and Gonzalez has been on a roll. Add to that, for the season, Verlander is significantly worse in road games (ERA above 5) and Gonzalez has a 3.31 ERA in home games. Beyond that, the teams are about even in relief pitching (both bad), while Detroit's offense has struggled vs. right-handed pitching and on the road. I like the Sox here at this price.
