The Seattle Mariners (70-55) and Chicago White Sox (49-76) meet Tuesday for the middle contest of a 3-game set in Chicago. First pitch is set for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mariners vs. White Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Mariners lead 3-1
Seattle beat Chicago 14-2 Monday as a -190 road favorite in the series opener. The Mariners came out of the gates strong, jumping out to an early 5-0 lead in the 1st inning en route to a 7th consecutive victory. Despite giving sizzling CF Julio Rodriguez the night off to rest, Seattle stayed hot. C Cal Raleigh led the Mariners onslaught with 2 homers and 6 RBIs.
The underdog White Sox (+173) never stood much of a chance after SP Touki Toussaint gave up 5 runs in the blink of an eye — he yielded 7 total in 4 innings. White Sox starting pitching has let them down as of late with only 1 of the past 5 games having the starter make it into the 6th inning or later. So, it’s no surprise Chicago is 2-7 in its last 9 games.

Mariners at White Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 5, White Sox 3
Moneyline
BET SEATTLE (-155) TO WIN 1 UNIT.
Seattle is hot and the much better team. Chicago is cold and probably can’t wait for the season to end.
After giving Rodriguez the night off, the Mariners should be able to keep the momentum going. Look for Seattle to take care of business with J-Rod back in the lineup.
Run line/Against the spread
BET 0.5 UNITS ON SEATTLE -1.5 (+105).
Although Clevinger will be a tough matchup for the Mariners lineup, things are clicking on all cylinders for them. There’s good value in the run line here, as the true contenders begin to beat up on weaker competition — as the Mariners look to stretch their win streak to 8.
Over/Under
BET 0.5 UNITS on UNDER 8.5 (+100).
Clevinger looks to stifle the wagon of an offense that is Seattle. He’ll try to limit the damage done as much as possible. This could be a good parlay if also going with the Mariners run and/or money lines.
