The pitching matchup tonight has Jose Quintana (2-5, 4.38 ERA) on the mound for the White Sox to face Ariel Miranda (3-2, 4.79) of the Mariners. Miranda is coming off a five-inning outing where he allowed just one earned run on three hits with eight strikeouts. He has allowed 22 earned runs in 41.1 innings with 38 strikeouts. Quintana has been able to go deep into games for the most part. He has allowed 24 earned runs in 49.1 innings. He has 46 strikeouts with 23 walks.
Seattle picked up a 5-4 win in the series opener on Thursday night. With the victory, Seattle moves to 20-22 overall and 13-6 at home. The White Sox are now 17-22 overall and 9-14 on the road.
The Mariners got a walk-off win in the ninth when Guillermo Heredia got a pinch-hit single to score Jarrod Dyson. Sam Gaviglio had five scoreless innings on the mound for Seattle, but the bullpen gave up four runs over the next three innings. Jean Seguara had a three-run home run to led the Mariners while Tim Anderson led the White Sox with three hits, two runs and a RBI.
I liked the White Sox in an upset last night and it didn’t happen. Chicago is continuing to struggle, so I am going to switch to the home team tonight. With the pitching matchup relatively equal, I trust the Mariners’ bats at home over the White Sox. Chicago hasn’t been able to do much at the plate for a few weeks now. Expect those struggles to continue.
