#929/930 ASA PLAY ON 8* Under 8.5 Runs – Chicago White Sox @ Atlanta Braves, Saturday at 7:15 PM ET - Yesterday's game was a 9-0 Braves win yet Atlanta had only 8 hits in the victory. There is some value here today with that unusual final scoreline yesterday plus the fact that Lance Lynn shows an unusually high ERA which is masking the fact that he has been pitching much better of late. Lynn has allowed just 25 hits in 31 innings over his last 5 starts. Also, Lynn has struck out 41 batters in 26 innings over his last 4 starts. He has had great swing and miss stuff over the past month and should pick up right where he left off before the All-Star break as the 2nd half of the season gets underway. Lynn will be opposed by Spencer Strider of the Braves and he has fantastic numbers. Strider is 7-0 his last 7 decisions on the mound. Strider also has been piling up strikeouts with 39 K's over 26 innings in his last 4 starts. He has allowed a total of only 4 earned runs in those 4 starts. That is an average of only 1 earned run per start and Strider is further supported by a Braves bullpen that has the lowest ERA in the National League. The White Sox have lost 6 of 7 games and scored an average of only 2 runs per game in those 6 defeats. The Braves have been scoring much better but, prior to yesterday, only 1 of their last 6 games had seen Atlanta total 7 or more runs and the other 5 games in that 6-game stretch averaged just 4 Braves runs per game. 4 to 2 sounds about right in this one and plus gives us some extra cushion with this total at 8.5 here. We are going with the Under in this one.
