T.M. Selection: Cubs/Reds Sox under.

The first two games of this series have flown well over the number, but we can expect a much tighter pitchers duel here in the finale of this IL contest in my opinion. The Red Sox have now seen the total go over the number in three straight after last night's 17-0 blowout win, but note that Boston has seen the total go under in eight of its last 12 after playing to three or more straight overs in a row. The Cubs have also seen the total go under in five of their last six in trying to avenge a road loss as a favorite vs. an opponent. The Cubs go with Hayden Wesneski, who is 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 0.16 WHIP, while the home side goes with Tanner Houck, who is 3-2 with a 1.65 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. With these two starters going deep like I suspect, the under is the correct call for sure as far as the total is concerned.

T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Boston.
