ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON OVER the Total - Chicago White Sox @ Pittburgh Pirates, Wednesday at 7:05 PM ET

Yesterday's starting pitchers combined to allow just 2 runs in 9 innings! However, the bullpens combined to allow 7 runs the rest of the way. The total fell just short of going over but we like the value that result is helping to give us here as we project the bullpens to again struggle and, this time, both starters struggle too! The White Sox start Dane Dunning. The rookie right-hander just made his first road start and it did not go well. Dunning gave up 3 earned runs on 5 hits and 4 walks in 4 and 2 / 3 innings. Overall, 2 of his 3 starts (and his only road outing) have been rough this season. The Pirates start JT Brubaker. He is also a rookie and opponents have hit .290 against him in his 4 home starts. In outings at PNC Park this season Brubaker has a 1.67 WHIP which is a bad sign for him here as he now faces a White Sox team that has won 4 of its last 5 games and scored an average of 7 runs per game in those 5 contests. The Pirates have won 7 of their last 11 home games and have scored an average of 5 runs per game even though 2 of those games were just 7-inning contests. Each team got to double digits in hits yesterday and more of the same expected today with the difference this time that it will result in an over. Per our computer math model, this one gets into double digits in runs! Bet the OVER in Pittsburgh in early evening action Wednesday.
