Mariners To Make Series Even

The Seattle Mariners host the Chicago White Sox at T-Mobile Park on September 5th at 6:40 pm. This will be the start of a three-game series between these two teams. These teams have already played a three-game series earlier this year in Chicago and the White Sox were able to take advantage of home field and win two of the three games.  The Mariners head into this game with a home record of 35-28 and the White Sox have a road record of 33-31. The odds for this game are currently -120 Mariners, +100 White Sox, and the over/under is set at 7.5 according to Caesars Casino & Sportsbook.

The Chicago White Sox are currently 67-66 and are the third seed in the AL Central. Over their last 10 games, they are 5-5 and are on a four-game winning streak.  In this game against the Mariners, the White Sox will have Lance Lynn take the mound for them. On the season, Lynn is 4-5 with an ERA of 4.70 and a WHIP of 1.14. The White Sox are currently in 1st place for the number of hits and batting average in the league with 1,204 and .261, respectively. White Sox first baseman, Jose Abreu, leads the team in batting average, hits, OBP, and RBIs, and left fielder, Andrew Vaughn, leads the team in home runs.  Luis Robert and Tim Anderson join Abreu and Vaughn as the only player on the White Sox with over 100 hits on the season. Abreu leads this list by over 30 hits as he has 156 on the season. Abreu is also ranked #6 around the league for batting average as he has an average of .310. 

The Seattle Mariners are currently 75-58 and are the second seed in the AL West. Over their last 10 games, they are 8-2 and are on a six-game winning streak. Clearly, the Mariners are locked in and are hungry for October. As of now, they are the second team in the Wild Card position in the NL, right behind the Tampa Bay Rays. In this game against the White Sox, the Mariners will have Marco Gonzales take the mound for them. On the season, Gonzales is 10-12 with an ERA of 3.99 and a WHIP of 1.38. The Mariners are currently in 23rd place for the number of hits in the league with 1,021. However, this team is a better pitching squad than they are hitting. They ranked in the top in ERA, wins, and losses. Gonzales is not the best pitcher on the Mariners but fortunately for the team, in his last three starts, he has been given the win in every game. On the hitting side, first baseman Ty France leads the Mariners in hits, OBP, and batting average. Third baseman, Eugenio Suarez, joins France as a player that leads the Mariners in 2 or more hitting categories as he has the most home runs and RBIs on the team. Also, the Mariners have a young stud out in the center field with Julio Rodriguez who has been playing amazingly for them and ranks second on the team in batting average, hits, and home runs. With the Mariners playing great baseball as of late, expect them to handle business and tie the series up. 

I think the Mariners will have a strong outing against the White Sox and will be able to tie the series with a win. They have everything right going for them at the moment and if they’re able to receive hits from players like France and Rodriguez, they should win with ease. The White Sox are a great hitting team but the recent success Gonzales has found will be too much for them.
