White Sox vs. Mariners (September 6): Are Chicago & Seattle set for another close contest?

Is this surge by the Chicago White Sox for real this time? Last night’s win over the Seattle Mariners might well be a clear sign that it is.

After missing out on what would have been a huge sweep of the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, the White Sox hit the road for Seattle, where they bounced back last night with a 3-2 win to end the Mariners’ seven-game win streak.

Time and time again this time, Chicago has made it appear that they were ready to make a charge for the AL Central, only for one loss to knock them off course.

But to fail to convert a chance for a sweep of a division rival, hit the road to face one of the hottest teams in the league, and respond with a win in your next game is a very encouraging sign if you are holding out hope for your bets on the White Sox to win the AL Central.

Chicago White Sox vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction and Best Bets

White Sox vs. Mariners Prediction: Mariners to win

White Sox vs. Mariners Best Bet: White Sox/Mariners under 7.5 (Best Value: -110 at Bovada Sportsbook & BetUS)

Neither Cueto (not listed) nor Gilbert (+37000 at BetOnline) will find themselves among the AL Cy Young favorites, but both have been among the most consistent and effective arms in the AL this season.

Cueto has 15 quality starts in 19 starts and has allowed two or fewer runs ten times this season, including five times in nine road starts.

Gilbert has only 13 quality starts in 27 starts in 2022, but he has allowed two or fewer runs 15 times this season, including six times in 11 home starts.

The series opener featured strong pitching from Lance Lynn (7 IP, 3 H, R, BB, 11 K) and Marco Gonzales (7 IP, 4 H, 3 R, BB, 3 K) in Chicago’s 3-2 win, and we should see the starters shine again tonight in another tight tilt between the Mariners and White Sox.

This season, the under is 36-24-4 in Seattle’s home games, while it is 33-28-4 in Chicago’s away games. Roll with the under with warm and fuzzy feelings.
