This is an 8* TOTAL on the UNDER Tigers/ChiSox.

These teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but we're expecting those trends to end this evening.

Detroit is rolling, as it's won four straight. The last two games have gone OVER the number, hammering Cleveland at home by scores of 11-4 and 8-2.

Chicago has now seen the total go OVER the number in five straight after it snapped a two-game slide with a come from behind 9-8 home win over the Twins yesterday.

Dylan Cease (7-3, 2.51 ERA) has to be feeling confident for the home side today, as not only is he having another solid season this year, but he's also 10-0 with a 1.91 ERA in 11 lifetime starts vs. the Tigers.

The visitors counter with Beau Brieske (1-6, 4.54), who has had his ups and downs during his debut season, but who we feel will step up here facing a counterpart the caliber of Cease.

The situation and the numbers/trends all point to the UNDER as the correct call in our opinions.

Good luck, NP
