White Sox are 6-1 the last seven. Oakland is 1-9 their last 10 and 5-17 the last 22. True, former A Jeff Samardzija has struggled a bit this year, but he is a hell of a pitcher and will have a bit of a chip on his shoulder going up against his former team. Going back to last year, Oakland is 7-21 as favorites of 150 or less, 0-11 at home versus an opponent road winning percentage of .400 or less. They have lost 4-of-5 with Scott Kazmir as a favorite. Oakland has turned around the series winning four straight.

Teams with winning percentage of less than .490 who have won at least seven of their previous 10 are a solid bet, though not nearly as strong as most angles we share. However it does corroborate the winner.
