Shane Bieber and Johnny Cueto are going to play each other. Bieber is having another excellent season with an 11-8 record and 2.83 ERA. Cueta is 7-9 with a 3.09 ERA and has been better than expected since joining the White Sox. The game is going for 7.5 runs. The over is on a 5-0-1 run when these two teams play in Chicago. It's possible the total could be closer to 8. 5 runs, but I'm not going with it. I can't make heads or tails of the opening total.
