WHITE SOX/DIAMONDBACKS Under 9.5 -120 - Both of these clubs are struggling offensively, and things didn?t get any better in last night?s 2-1 Arizona victory. The White Sox are averaging just 3.38 runs per game on the road this season, and they have an anemic team batting average of .216 over their last 10 games overall. It is no wonder then that the Under is 18-8 in all Chicago road games, with an average combined total score of 8.35 runs per game, more than one full run below tonight?s posted total. The Diamondbacks appeared to break out of their offensive slump in the first 3 games of the San Diego series this past weekend, but that had more to do with bad Padres pitching than good Arizona hitting. The D-Backs have reverted to their normal ways the last 2 games, scoring a grand total of 3 runs. Also, tonight?s Sox starter Garland has been surprisingly Under-friendly, with the Under going 26-14, 65.0% in all his starts since the beginning of last season. Arizona?s starter Good is nothing special, but he won?t have to be vs. this struggling lineup.
