Why we made this MLB total pick

This pick leans on the combination of a pitcher-friendly park and a struggling offense. The game is at Progressive Field, which suppresses scoring with a 95 Run Index and 92 HR Index. The Guardians' offense has been cold, averaging just 3.6 runs per game in their last 10 and posting a meek .686 OPS against right-handed pitching. While the White Sox bats are hot, Cleveland's starter Slade Cecconi has been excellent in his last three starts, allowing only three earned runs over 17.2 innings. This combination of factors points toward a lower-scoring game than the 8.5 total suggests. Sized at 2u — confidence 67, with a good park-and-offense combination but held back by low data confidence.
