This number is low relative to how Chicago has been scoring lately. The White Sox have put up 69 runs across their last 10 games, and that climbs to 44 runs across their last 5.
Oakland has also played cleaner offense than the market is pricing in. The Athletics are 7-3 over their last 10, and the first two games of this series finished with 11 and 13 total runs.
The projected lineups bring real pop to both sides. Munetaka Murakami already has a .909 OPS with 7 home runs for Chicago, while Shea Langeliers carries a .993 OPS with 6 homers for Oakland. With the White Sox missing multiple arms on the injury report and both clubs seeing recent games land above this number, Over 9 is still playable.
