Total: 9.00 | -113.00 Over
Result: Loss
This is an 8* O/U SITUATIONAL ASSASSIN on the UNDER A's/White Sox.
The first two games of this series have sailed OVER the number, but we're finally expecting more of a "duel" in the finale. The A's hand the ball to Paul Blackburn (1-1, 8.03 ERA) who gave up two runs off four hits while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision to the Padres on Tuesday. Blackburn bounced back nicely after getting rocked in his season debut, throwing 53 of his 85 pitches for strikes. Note that he owns a 3.60 ERA on the road. Chicago counters with Carlos Rodon (0-2, 4.41) who gave up four runs off five hits while striking out five over seven innings in a loss to the Indians on Tuesday. Rodon retired 11 of the final 12 batters he faced and he has to be feeling confident here as he sports a sharp 3.60 ERA at home and in day games thus far. We usually don't put much stock in team trends when landing on a particular day, however it's worth mentioning that Oakland has already seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of 12 this year when playing on a "Sunday," while Chicago has seen the total go UNDER in all nine games that it's played this year that happen to fall on a Sunday. All signs do indeed point to the UNDER as the savvy move in this one.
