King T Sports<P>October 1st, 2001<P>White Sox (82-74) Wells (10-9, 4.33)<BR>Yankees (91-62) Hitchcock (5-5, 6.03)<P> The White Sox and the Yankees will begin making up<BR>a series that was postponed due to the terriosts attacks <BR>against our country.<P> Although the are out of any playoff contention, the <BR>White Sox have assured themselves a second consecutive <BR>winning season, and are now winners of eight of ten games. <P> We just think back to the end of last year, as the <BR>Yankees tanked their final games coming down the stretch, <BR>as they were most assuredly resting up their eventual World <BR>Series run. <P> The Yankees are now 4-5-1 in their last ten games, and <BR>struggled to look good against some of the weakest comp that <BR>the AL has to offer. <P> Hitchcock lasted only 2.2 innings in his last outing <BR>against the Orioles in a 11-2 Yankees lost. The Yankees had <BR>won his two previous starts, but his pitching was still poor <BR>and was let off the hook as the Yankees scored just enough to <BR>secure the victory.<P> Wells, who has primarily been used in the bullpen, has <BR>come into the rotation and the Sox has won his last two starts. <BR>In fact, this is only his third start since August 7th. He was <BR>the starting pitcher in a 7-5 Sox win against the Yankees on <BR>September 20th.<P> With the Yankees history of failing to finish the regular <BR>season with any fervor, and the Sox playing hot ball (8 of 10) <BR>coming down the stretch I see this as an excellent opportunity <BR>to take the Sox to win a game against these Yanks<P>King T Sports selection: Chicago White Sox Wells +160<P>GOOD LUCK!!!<P>King T
