White Sox at Mariners picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 5, White Sox 4
Money line
There is some slight lean toward the White Sox, but that lean is better served by the Run Line. AVOID.
Run line/Against the spread
Chicago has been solid in get-away games. And we’re fading a fatigued Seattle bullpen here. BACK THE WHITE SOX +1.5 (-140).
Over/Under
Too much juice: PASS but consider an Over 6.5 if the tag drops to -135.
