06/26/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paul Konerko's solo home run in the eighth inning off Andrew Cashner broke a tie game and gave the White Sox a 3-2 decision over the Cubs for their 11th straight victory.
Matt Thornton closed the contest in the ninth for his third save of the season, capping the first time the ChiSox have won 11 in a row since a 12-game run from June 17-27, 1961.
Alex Rios and Alexei Ramirez also drove in a run in the victory, the club's 15th in 16 games. The Sox are now 15-2 against the National League this season and have won seven of the last eight against their Windy City rivals.
Cashner (0-1) took the loss behind Carlos Silva, who had his start pushed back two days due to a right hamstring injury and lasted six frames, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk. The Cubs have lost four of five overall.
Silva's counterpart was also effective in a no-decision, as Freddy Garcia yielded two runs on eight hits in seven innings of work. J.J. Putz (4-2) was credited with the win for tossing a flawless eighth.
Aramis Ramirez's first home run since June 5th leading off the top of the seventh tied the game, 2-2. Alfonso Soriano doubled after the blast but was stranded on third.
With one out in the eighth, Cashner, in his second inning of relief, served up a 1-2 fastball that Konerko took over the left-field wall for his 19th homer of the year and a 3-2 lead.
Thornton walked Aramis Ramirez with one out in the ninth before getting Soriano to bounce into a 5-4-3 double play to clinch another White Sox win.
Gordon Beckham tripled leading off the third and stayed there until Rios knocked him in on a single to center with two away for a 1-0 edge.
The Cubs answered in the sixth when Derrek Lee's one-out base hit to center plated Ryan Theriot, who led off the frame with a single.
The Sox countered in the bottom half, as Konerko walked, moved to second when Carlos Quentin was hit by a pitch, advanced to third on a flyout to center and raced home on Alexei Ramirez's sacrifice fly to right.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
