7-Unit Play. Take 'Under' 9.5 Chicago White Sox at Kansas City (2 p.m., Sunday, June 9)
I am going with the 'under' in this one. These two teams struggle to score runs. That has been their problem all season long. They struggled to a 2-0 game yesterday and I see a low scoring game in this spot as well. This line opened at 10.0 and has been bet down by sharp action on the 'under'. That is my side as well. The 'under' is 6-2 in the last eight meetings between these two teams. The 'under' is 5-2 in Chicago's last seven games and is 6-3 in Kansas City's last nine games. Glenn Sparkman has been showing signs of improvement for Kansas City and he has a 0.82 WHIP in his last three starts. The 'under' is 7-3 in Reynaldo Lopez's last 10 starts and the 'under' is 8-3 in Kansas City's last 11 divisional games. The 'under' is also 12-5 in Chicago's last 17 road games. Play the 'under' here.

Wainwright v. Hendricks
Wainwright pitched last against these Cubbies last Sunday...went for 8 full innings...faced 30 batters and threw 126 pitches all told...in a very solid 2-1 win. He also walked 7 batters despite allowing just 2 hits! In such a spot overall pitchers facing the same team again specifically since 2017 are 8-21...4-11 if they also won that previous start.
The Cubs succumbed a 4-0 deficit before even coming to the plate last night....but allowed nary another run holding them scoreless for the final 8 frames in what turned out an easy win.
No Molina for the Cards either....might be enough to never want to back such a team period....other factors included and I think we're lucky this ain't -200...so we pounce hard!

It was just last Sunday that Adam Wainwright had his best performance of 2019 with eight shutout innings in a win against the Cubs and gave the Cardinals a three-game sweep. Now it's the Cubs ready for some payback as they go for the three-game sweep. Wainwright took advantage of a team on the skids last week. The Cubs have been hitting well the past week and Wainwright certainly won't get away unscathed with seven walks like last week. Cubs win.

Adam Wainwright was sensational his last start which by the way was against the Cubbies. Eight innings, two hits, zero runs however he did walk seven batters making his day just a little bit lucky to get away with that many base runners. That game was in Saint Louis where Wainwright does his best work but today on the road where his ERA is 6.61. I'm looking for the Cubs to get their revenge early and often. The Cubs' Kyle Hendricks was lights out from mid-April through the first two weeks of May. Over his last four games he has given up 11 earned runs over 26 2/3 innings. He dominated the Cardinals at home on May 3, shutting them out on just 4 hits and no walks. I really like this Cardinal line up and think they will get some revenge of their own tonight. Take the Over (-106).

Madison Bumgarner is stuck on a bad team and at 29 years old is in the prime of his career. Bumgarner gets up for only a couple of teams and archrival L.A. is one of them. In 12 innings this year Bum has given up just one earned run on nine hits versus the Dodgers. The Dodgers lineup is more lethal versus right handed pitching than lefties. Walker Buehler has been just 10 cents above average on the road in 2019. Over the last two years Buehler's ERA in the day has been almost two runs higher than it is in night games. Bumgarner is one of the 15 best pitchers in baseball and does is best work in the biggest games.
