(MLB) Chi White Sox vs. Philadelphia,
Money Line: -182.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Loss
The Phillies finished off the Giants Thursday afternoon, winning 10-2, and that made it a winning series for them. This weekend, they'll get an even easier opponent. The White Sox come into town and they are in really bad shape right now as they've won only four games since the All Star Break. They were just swept by the Mets, at home, and shutout in yesterday's series finale. Jason Vargas will make his Phillies debut tonight. He'd been pretty reliable for the Mets in posting a 3.27 ERA in 16 starts, going at least six innings in 10 of them, which makes you wonder why the Mets would ship him to a division rival for so little in return. Regardless, Vargas should shut down a White Sox lineup that doesn't score much (28th in MLB in runs) and will of course be without the DH. Ivan Nova gets the start for Chicago tonight and while he's coming off two straight strong outings, he still has a 5.23 ERA. The White Sox are 16-38 their last 54 interleague contests while the Phillies are 7-3 in their 10 this season. Play on PHILADELPHIA
