World Series Game 3

[DougOzzzz]

Well, for one I am a little more reluctant to trust a pitcher who has had a mediocre career except for one year. Second, I think the White Sox offense is a little better than Houston, therefore making Oswalt's W-L a little more impressive. Third, Oswalt's peripheral stats are superior (better K and BB rates, higher GB/FB ratio). Garland has the better defense backing him, which is part of the reason for the relatively close ERA.

As I said, I favor the White Sox line - but I don't think Garland is all that close to Oswalt. I don't think they are all that far apart either, though. My main concern is that pinnacle is offering the best line on the White Sox - which USUALLY means that they are not that good a bet.
