(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Chi White Sox,
Total: 7.00 | 102.00 Under
Result: Loss
Elite pitchers Shane McClanahan and Dylan Cease square off in a rematch of this past Saturday's game. Both started in that game. McClanahan held the White Sox to two runs on three hits with 10 strikeouts and one walk in six innings. Tampa Bay won that game, 4-3, in extra innings. 

I don't anticipate seven runs being scored in this rematch. Both teams are swinging cold bats. 

The Rays haven't scored in their last two games. The White Sox also haven't scored in their past two games. Chicago has managed just six runs in its last five games. 

McClanahan is in Cy Young Award form. He's 4-0 with a 1.86 ERA. Cease is 2-0 with a 2.73 ERA. 

The weather portends a low-scoring game, too. The forecast is for temperature in the low 50's dipping into the 40's as the game progresses with the wind blowing in at 8-to-10 mph.
