Mariners at White Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 6, White Sox 4
Moneyline
PASS.
I like the Mariners to win here but at (-190) the line is not worth the juice, bet on the run line and/or Over/Under instead.
Run line/Against the spread
LEAN MARINERS -1.5 (-120).
The Mariners are the much hotter team and have been the much better team this season. Seattle is 7-3 in their last 10 while the White Sox are 3-7 in their last 10, and the Mariners are 8 games above .500 on the road while Chicago is 8 games below .500 at home. The Mariners are also 4-1 in Castillo’s last 5 starts overall.
This is only a lean because the White Sox do hold the 6-4 lead in the last 10 Seattle-Chicago matchups.
Over/Under
BET OVER 9 (-105).
The Over is 6-1 in Seattle’s last 7 games overall and 7-3 in their last 10 games overall. For Castillo the Over is 3-0 in his last 3 starts, as well as in his last start vs. Chicago. The Over is also 3-0 in Chicago’s last 3 and 6-4 in its last 10.
