1* Free Play OVER A's/White Sox.

The visitors hand the ball to Aaron Brooks (1-3, 7.44 ERA) who has been hit or miss on the mound this season, he'd bounce back from a terrible effort in his last start by holding the Diamondbacks to two runs over six innings on Saturday. Unfortunately for Brooks though, a date on the road is not what the doctor ordered to keep the momentum rolling as he's 0-1 with a ballooned 12.91 ERA away from friendly confines thus far. The home side counters with Jeff Samardzija (9-12, 4.89 ERA) who gave up four runs over 6 1/3's innings in a fortunate 6-4 win over the Twins on Thursday. The rare victory broke a six-game losing streak, note though that the beleaguered veteran has allowed a total of 14 earned runs over his last three starts, spanning 17 2/3's innings of work. And unfortunately for Samardzija, home field has been anything but an advantage for him this year, he's a horrible 4-7 with a pedestrian 4.75 ERA in friendly confines to date. With these suspect starters squaring off on Tuesday night, the OVER does indeed become a viable investment opportunity.
