San Francisco Giants vs Chicago White Sox Prediction

I’m on the under in this one. The White Sox offense has been bad enough to begin with, but they’ve really had a hard time hitting left-handed pitching for the majority of the season top this point. On the other side, the Giants aren’t really lighting the world on fire against righties and they’re better against lefties overall this season, so I think they could struggle against Cannon. All in all, I think we have a lower-scoring battle on our hands here, so give me the under.
