There's decent value Friday in taking the +1.5 runs (+105) with a White Sox team that might be a bit under valued against an Oakland team that should be headed for its traditional second-half regression. A's starter Mike Fiers is having a great year, but this price nearly puts him in an elite category where he doesn't belong. White Sox starter Ivan Nova beat the Cubs in his last outing and a few Chicago hitters, including Tim Anderson, have had decent success against Fiers.

The White Sox will travel to Oakland to begin the second half of the MLB season. On the mound for the White Sox will be Ivan Nova, who is coming off a big underdog win against the Cubs in which he ended a seven-start winless streak. Value here lies with the White Sox as Oakland's Mike Fiers has not lost since May 1. Grab the White Sox.

Chicago's Ivan Nova is 4-7 with a 5.58 ERA this season, and he was 0-3 with a 4.89 ERA in June. Oakland's Mike Fiers is 8-3 with a 3.87 ERA this season and 5-2 with a 2.91 ERA at home. The A's are 18-11 as the home favorite while the White Sox are 14-23 as the road underdog. The A's are 10-8 when Fiers starts while the White Sox are 8-10 when Nova starts. Lay the home favorite.
