Saturday MLB Free Pick
(The Spread) – The White Sox will look for back-to-back wins in Seattle tonight when they take on the Mariners at 10:10PM ET.
Odds: Oddsmakers have made the Mariners –105 money line favorites versus the White Sox tonight, while Chicago is –101 on the ML. The over/under total for Game 2 of this series is currently sitting at 7 runs.
Pitching Matchup: Chicago’s John Danks will oppose Seattle’s Michael Pineda in tonight’s pitching matchup. Danks is 5-9 on the year with a 3.88 ERA and is coming off a quality start in Texas were he allowed just two runs on seven hits over seven innings to pick up a no decision. Pineda, meanwhile, is 9-7 with a 3.73 ERA and has taken three-straight no decisions in his last three outings.
Public Betting: Of the 1,700-plus wagers on tonight’s game, 60% of MLB public bettors currently favor the White Sox –101.
MLB Free Pick: Take Chicago. According to latest MLB trends, the White Sox are 4-0 in Danks’ last four starts versus the Mariners and 21-8 in their last 29 meetings with Seattle overall. They’re also 5-2 in their last seven road games versus the Mariners, who are 1-4 in their last five games during Game 2 of a series. They’re also 4-10 in Pineda’s last 14 starts and 1-7 in his last eight starts after scoring two runs or less in their previous game. Paul Konerko was quited by the Angels’ pitching but was hot in the Texas series and is 1-for-3 against Pineda with a home run so look for him to possibly do some damage tonight for the Sox.
