Chicago White Sox (27-32) at Philadelphia Phillies (32-31)

7:05 pm Eastern – ESPN
SBG Global Opening Line: Philadelphia -118, Total 9.5 (-115)

Jim Thome returns to Philadelphia for the first time as a member of the Chicago White Sox tonight. This is the first meeting between the teams since a November 2005 trade that sent Thome to the White Sox in exchange for Aaron Rowand as part of a four-player deal. SBG Global reports that the public is spit on the decision but is taking the Over 9.5 runs.

Thome was on the disabled list earlier this year with a strained rib cage and has just eight homers and 23 RBIs. Since there is no DH in the National League, for Thome to play in this series he would have to start at first base. White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said Thome likely will start at first base in Wednesday's series finale. "The next day, Thome will be sore, no matter what,” Guillen said. “It's different when you take ground balls and then go out on the field and play. Hopefully, we play him a couple of times there, maybe two of the six games. We need to play him. He needs to get his at-bats."

Philadelphia is a -117 favorite with a total of 9.5 Over (-117) at SBG Global Sportsbook.

The White Sox got a big win on Sunday against Houston as they broke a five game losing streak. Mark Buehrle pitched well in the 6-3 win over the Astros. Javier Vazquez (3-4, 4.13 ERA) gets the start for Chicago tonight. He gave up four runs and seven hits with seven strikeouts in six innings of a 5-1 loss to the New York Yankees on Wednesday. Vazquez is 10-6 with a 4.55 ERA in 22 career starts against Philadelphia.

Adam Eaton (6-4, 5.99) goes for the Phillies tonight. Even though Eaton has an ERA of almost 6 runs per game, he will be looking for his sixth win of the season tonight. He is coming off a two run, five hit performance against the Mets where he went six innings in the victory. At home this season Eaton is 2-3 with a 7.04 ERA in six starts.

The White Sox are 15-5 in their last 20 interleague road games. The White Sox are 1-4 in their last 5 games as a road underdog. The White Sox are 1-4 in their last 5 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter. The White Sox are 3-8 in Vazquez's last 11 road starts.
