World Series game 2 - Pettitte vs Buehrle

Mark Buehrle pitches game 2 for the White Sox tonight. He has never hit Craig Biggio with a pitch, but he was the only Chicago pitcher to plunk anyone before Contreras faced Bagwell last night. Buehrle hit Bengie Molina in Game 2 of the ALCS.
The only pitcher on the White Sox roster who has hit Biggio is Dustin Hermanson, who hit Biggio twice in one game on October 6, 2001.

Historically, the home team is 58-40-2 in Game 2 of the World Series, and 33-23-1 after winning game 1. On the other hand, data on World Series matchups between Texas and Chicago teams is sparse, so its hard to make any kind of conclusion based on history.
