Runs are going to be hard to come by in this game. Thrope gave up only two hits and zero runs in his last start, and he’s going to slow down the Braves here. Sale has been dominant this season, and the White Sox’s offense has been a major issue here. Look for neither team to score more than three runs, and that is going to be the difference here. Back the under to cash here.
