(MLB) Chi White Sox vs. Houston, 07/05/2018 4:10 PM, Score: 3 - 4
Total: 8.00 | 100.00 Over
Result: Win
Under is 14-5-1 in the last 20 meetings, and I expect another relatively low-scoring affair when the Houston Astros host the Chicago White Sox Thursday night.

The White Sox hand the ball to left-hander Carlos Rodon (1-3, 4.55 ERA) who is 1-0 with a 1.71 ERA over four career starts against the Astros. We can alos note that under is 5-1 in Astros last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter.

Houston counters with their ace Justin Verlander (9-4, 2.12 ERA) who has suffered consecutive losses, allowing nine runs on 16 hits and three walks with 14 strikeouts over 11 2/3 innings. He's still having an outstanding year, and note that Verlander is 21-13 with a 3.74 ERA over 43 career starts against Chicago including six scoreless innings of two-hit ball against them on April 20.

The White Sox have hit double digits in two of their last three games, but can they do it off Verlander? I have my doubts ...

8* play on UNDER.
