Chicago White Sox vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
I’ll probably just stay with the Mariners here, but the line’s too thick to mess with. At least some of that has to do with Fedde’s last couple of starts. Back on May 25 against the Orioles Fedde put up 6.1 clean innings in a no-decision but he’s struggled since then. In his last pair Fedde has seven earned on 15 hits and four walks in 10.0 innings total. Seattle should have some chances on Monday if he can’t clean it up.
On Sunday the Mariners needed 10 innings and three runs in the final frame to have enough gas for the close win. Starter George Kirby kicked things off well with 7.0 innings and one earned run. If Gilbert can duplicate that, Seattle should be fine.
