This is a 7* on CHICAGO

It would definitely be fair to call Seattle’s 9-3 win last night “an upset.” But they have been surging (9-2 L11 games) while the While Sox have been fading (1-7 L8). However, you look at the fact the Mariners have given up 42 more runs than they’ve scored and you wonder how in the world are they above .500. The White Sox, even after the bad week, still have one of the best overall records in the American League. They are 27-13 at home this year. Seattle can’t send out Yusei Kikuchi (who pitched masterfully last night) out to the mound every night. For today, they are going with Logan Gilbert, who has given them some solid results but is also far less proven than Kikuchi. Gilbert is also off perhaps his shakiest start to date as he allowed two homers and four runs against Tampa Bay last week. Definitely off his shakiest start of 2021 is Lance Lynn for Chicago. He allowed six runs his last turn. But we like what we’ve seen from Lynn all year as he has a 1.77 ERA and 0.88 WHIP at home. The White Sox are a better team than the Mariners and should avenge last night’s defeat. Play on CHICAGO
