The total has gone Under in both games of this series and I look for the same today. The Yankees have put up just 10 runs this series while the Sox have managed just three. Flexen has gave up three runs in his last outing. Rodon, who has only given up four runs in three home starts. The Sox have scored the least amount of runs in baseball and will struggle to score off od Rodon.

Pittsburgh took the first two games of the series before losing yesterday 1-0. Mitch Keller will take the mound for the Pirates. He is 4-3 with a 3.93 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in nine starts this season. Jameson Taillon will be making his sixth start for the Cubs. He is 3-1 with a 1.61 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. Mitch Keller has not fared well against the Cubs lineup. Even though the Cubs have been struggling to score, their pitching has been outstanding. The Cubs needed and got an all important win yesterday and will carry that over today at home.

Play on Chicago. This is a 3% play.

Jameson Taillon has pitched well in three home starts. He has posted a 1.08 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP in 16.2 innings. Pittsburgh ranks 26th in team batting average and 28th in OPS. These teams combined for 1 yesterday. The Cubs have been great hitting but their offense has been lacking.  Look for Taillon to keep the Pirate bats in check and for this game to stay under the number.
