Mariners vs White Sox Prediction
As I’ve said countless times this season, I’m not in the business of backing the White Sox. It doesn’t change here, especially with Smith on the mound, a pitcher who has allowed 15 hits and 15 runs in his last 16.1 innings. The Mariners are having a nice couple of weeks and Gilbert has a 2.27 ERA and .144 allowed batting average in 47.2 home innings. Gilbert has a 0.98 WHIP on the season. The Mariners have to be the play here, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
