This is a 10* TOP AL TUESDAY TOTAL on the UNDER White Sox/Twins.

The White Sox have seen the total go OVER in eight straight, including in yesterday's series opening 8-5 loss here.

While yesterday's game flew OVER the number, everything points to more of a duel here in my opinion on Tuesday.

The visiting side hands the ball to Carlos Rodon, who is 6-3 with a 2.37 ERA and who faced these very Twins last Thursday, allowing four runs and striking out nine over five innings, earning a no-decision in the end.

It was Rodon's eighth consecutive start in which he's had at least eight K's (over 83.2 innnings of work he has 122 strikeouts.)

Jose Berrios is 7-2 with a 3.52 ERA and he's coming off a pedestrian outing as well, allowing four runs and striking out none over five innings against these very White Sox last Thursday. Previous to that outing he'd posted three straight quality starts (he has 96 K's over 94.2 innings).

Finally, note that Chicago has seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of its last ten after playing to five or more straight OVERS in a row.

This number is high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
