Daytime Dominator - Rickenbach MLB Wednesday 8* OVER the total in Oakland A's vs Chicago White Sox @ 3:35 ET - The ball was carrying very well in yesterday's afternoon game here between these clubs as the 7-6 A's walk-off win featured 6 home runs! That is a good sign of what to expect today as it will be another mild afternoon game at Oakland with the wind blowing out toward right-center at a decent clip. Although Sonny Gray has been sharp recently for the A's, he is giving the White Sox a quick, second look at him as he just faced them on June 25th. That started a back to back stretch of two consecutive unders in Gray starts but, prior to that, the over was 9-1 in his first 10 starts this season. The over trend should resume here as Gray faces a White Sox team that has averaged scoring 6.2 runs per game in their last 5 games. The ChiSox have had a dozen hits or more in 3 of those 5 games. The A's have not been as strong as the White Sox at the plate recently but facing Mike Pelfrey should certainly bring out the best in them. The veteran right-hander just faced the A's on June 23rd and he struggled. Pelfrey has now given up 8 earned runs and walked 7 and allowed 12 hits (including 4 homers) in his last two starts spanning just 10 innings of work. Also, in Pelfrey's 5 starts against Oakland in his career, he is 0-5 with a 7.56 ERA and a 1.92 WHIP. The over is 5-0 in the White Sox last 5 games and I see no reason that streak shouldn't make it 6 in a row today. The over is 25-13 in Chicago's games against teams with a losing record this season. 8* OVER the total in Oakland
