I'm on the Under 8.5 Runs in this Whitesox @ Tigers Game 3 for these reasons:

- Reese Wilson is on the mound for the Tigers. He's 1-8 this season with a 3.39 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and averaging 0.89 Strikeouts per inning. The issue with Reese, other than the 1-8 record, is the hits he's allowing. He gave up 10 and 12 hits in his last 2 starts with 12 runs in total. In a series tied 1-1 I expect a better showing from Reese who hasn't played bad batting rotations like the Whitesox much this season. So even if the hits are coming in, the runs won't equate to what has been happening to him the majority of the season.

- Jonathan Cannon is pitching for the Whitesox, he's 1-1 on the season and has played damn well. He's got a 3.34 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and averaging 0.87 strikeouts per inning. He's coming off a 0 runs earned win over the Astros, where he pitched 8 innings, allowed 7 hits and struck out 4 batters. It's safe to say he's been well rounded not putting too much pressure on his Fielding Unit, and has natural talent on the mound. Even in his debut vs the Redsox, he allowed 0 runs in the short 3 inning start in the MLB with 4 strikeouts as well. I trust Cannon to keep the Whitesox safe enough until pulled from the mound.

- Neither Bats are worth fearing to be honest, so we have to rely our handicapped for this game on the pitchers starting, and fielding unit advantage, which happens to all be in the favor of the Away Team Chicago Whitesox. (Side Bet)
