This is a 10* play on the UNDER

The A's and White Sox play a daytime affair on Friday and this is one where Oakland has to take advantage. They are in a competitive Wild Card race and taking on a team that has generally played very poorly in the second half of the season. But our focus is on the total. The good news for the A's is that you have to figure starter Michael Fiers will pitch well here. He's unbeaten in his last 16 starts (8-0) with a 2.26 ERA. Fiers has never lost to Chicago in his career as he's 3-0 with a 1.83 ERA in seven starts and the ERA is even lower at Guaranteed Rate Field. He shut them out for 7+ innings at home last month as well. The White Sox are 28th in runs scored, so it's definitely a favorable match for Fiers. But we don't look for the A's to score all that many runs either today. They scored just one run on Wednesday in a loss to the Cubs across town. The Under is 23-7-1 their last 31 games vs. the AL Central. Under is 6-1-1 for the White Sox following an off day. Play UNDER Oakland-Chicago
