Seattle Mariners DFS SPIN
Josh Rojas hit a two-run homer and scored twice Tuesday as the Mariners defeated the White Sox 6-3. The Mariners have won eight straight for the second time in August, which is pretty remarkable. Rojas has hit .255/.286/.426 with two homers and two steals in 14 games since joining the Mariners. Since he’s sitting against lefties and batting at the bottom of the order, he still seems like a rather weak play in shallow leagues. However, it should be noted that the Mariners are due to face a whole lot of bad pitching the next two weeks.
Chicago White Sox DFS SPIN
Mike Clevinger lost to the Mariners after allowing four runs in five innings on Tuesday. Clevinger had been awfully effective since coming off the IL last month, but he was unusually wild tonight, walking four and hitting a batter. It’s the first time in 10 starts that he’s given up four earned runs, and he fell to 5-6 with a 3.47 ERA on the season

Mariners vs. White Sox MLB BETTING PREDICTION
The Mariners are expensive tonight but they’re the only play I like so I’m rolling with Seattle. Kirby is 1-0 with a 3.19 ERA and 2.98 FIP over his last five starts (31 innings), while the Mariners’ bullpen has a collective bullpen ERA of 2.54 and 3.15 FIP since August 1. Offensively, the Mariners have the highest wRC+ in baseball over the past two weeks at 148. On the other side, Kopech is 1-3 with a 8.37 ERA and 9.35 FIP over his last five starts (23 2/3 innings) and will be backed up by a Chicago bullpen that owns a 5.66 ERA and 4.97 FIP since the start of August.
