Carlos Rodon had always had much success against the Indians, and it came to a peak his last start versus Cleveland when he pitched a no-hitter. Current Cleveland hitters are batting .081 against Rodon in 93 at-bats, and the left-hander hasn't allowed a run this season in 14 innings. The White Sox just split a two-game series with the Red Sox, and they have won five of six following a loss. The Indians are just 6-24 as underdogs dating to last season, and Zach Plesac has given up eight runs on 16 hits in 13 2/3 innings. Also, Plesac was bombarded to the tune of six runs on seven hits against the White Sox on Wednesday before being mercifully removed. Chicago hitters are batting .433 against Plesac with an .836 slugging percentage. Chicago is 7-3 UNDER its past 10 games, and the UNDER 11-4 the past 15 meetings with the Indians, 6-2 UNDER at Cleveland. The UNDER is also 22-7-2 in the Indians' past 31 games versus opponents that gave up at least five runs their previous game. On top of that, the UNDER is 29-14-3 in Cleveland's past 46 games against teams with losing records and the Indians have stayed UNDER nine of their past 12 versus left-handed starters. Take the White Sox to win and the UNDER.
