Game Snapshot
Matchup: Atlanta Braves vs Chicago White Sox
Pick: Under 8.5 (-105)
Scope: Full Game
Key Difference: 8 combined runs cashes the Under; 9 loses it, with no push.

This number has a hard edge: your Under lives at eight total runs and dies at nine. There’s no “land on the line and get your stake back” outcome—once the game ticks up to 9 combined, the ticket is simply done.

Under 8.5 is priced at -105 for the full game. If you’re thinking, “What if it lands right on the number?”—it can’t, because the half-run removes the push; you’re buying a bet that either finishes under the threshold or loses.

If your scoring view is that Braves–White Sox stays to eight total runs or fewer, bet Under 8.5 at -105 to make that exact boundary matter.

Pass unless BetPhoenix offers Under 8.5 at -105 or better.
