Weather forced the postponement of this series on Monday night so the Phillies and Sox are set to play two today. Right-hander Zack Wheeler (4.02 ERA) will start for the away team and in his last road start, Philadelphia was crushed 16-3 at Texas. The Phillies are on a 3-9 run on the road, plus 9-27 in interleague road contests. ​Philly is also 37-23 OVER against a bullpen with lofty ERAs above 4.00 in the past two seasons and White Sox starter Lance Lynn won't likely last longer than six innings. Lynn's teams are 17-1 ​at home ​when he goes against an opponent with a winning percentage below​ .380. The White Sox are 13th offensively in​ scoring and 11th in slugging. The wagering value is on the home team​ and I'm looking for a good chunk of runs out of each lineup. Play Chicago on the​ run line and take this game OVER the total.

1.5 units on Chicago +1.5 runs -157 (runline) (risk 1.5 to return 2.46)
Result:
LOSS
1 unit on Game Total OVER 8 -105 (risk 1 to return 1.95)
Result:
