The White Sox Can Win If…
The Chicago White Sox recently played against the Los Angeles Angels, ending with an 8-5 loss. Despite the loss, Colson Montgomery had a strong game, hitting a home run and driving in four runs. Luis Robert Jr. also contributed with two hits and an RBI, showing the team’s potential at the plate.
One reason the White Sox can win is their ability to hit home runs. They have hit 104 home runs this season, ranking 23rd in the league. Players like Miguel Vargas and Lenyn Sosa have been key contributors in this area, with Vargas leading the team with 13 home runs.
The White Sox have a solid starting pitcher in Davis Martin, who has a 3.84 ERA. His ability to keep opposing hitters in check gives the team a chance to stay competitive. With the lineup’s power and Martin’s pitching, the White Sox have a good chance to win their next game.
The Mariners Can Win If…
The Seattle Mariners are coming off a close 5-4 win against the Texas Rangers. Logan Evans pitched five innings, allowing three runs. Julio Rodríguez led the offense with a home run and two RBIs, while J.P. Crawford and Jorge Polanco also added home runs.
The Mariners have shown strong hitting power this season, ranking 4th in home runs with 159. Their slugging percentage is 9th in the league at .410. With players like Cal Raleigh, who leads the league with 42 home runs, the Mariners have the ability to score quickly.
Pitching is another strength for Seattle, with a team ERA of 3.84, ranked 11th. Bryan Woo, with an ERA of 3.11, will start the next game. His WHIP of 0.97 shows his ability to limit base runners, giving the Mariners a solid chance to win.
The Lean
The Mariners are the pick to win the game with a moneyline of -248. The White Sox have struggled with a batting average of .230, ranking 20th in the league. The Mariners have a better batting average of .243 and a stronger pitching staff with an ERA of 3.84, ranked 11th. My model projects the Mariners to win with a score of 5-3.
For the over/under, the line is set at 7.5 runs. The White Sox have given up 118 home runs, ranking 9th, while the Mariners have hit 159 home runs, ranking 4th. This suggests a high-scoring game. My model projects a total of 8 runs, so the recommendation is to take the over at 7.5 (+100).
The Seattle Mariners rediscovered their offense in a big way on Sunday, and they’ll look to carry that momentum into a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox beginning Tuesday. Take a look at the latest MLB game results for context.
Julio Rodríguez’s Historic Feat
Julio Rodríguez became the first player ever to begin his career with four straight 20–home run, 20–stolen base seasons when his two-run blast off Jacob deGrom not only delivered the go-ahead runs but marked the 100th homer of his career. With 100 homers and 107 steals, he joins Bobby Bonds and Darryl Strawberry in the exclusive 100/100 club—a rare mark of early-career excellence.
Maintaining Wild-Card Momentum
Seattle’s 8–5 victory kept them clinging to the third and final AL wild-card spot and pulled them within 2½ games of first place in the AL West. Contributions from Jorge Polanco and J.P. Crawford—each of whom also homered—underscore a lineup firing on all cylinders. For our latest MLB picks, head over to the picks page.
