Chris’ Pick
I have to roll with the Mariners again here. Until I see the Mariners start to falter with the run of form they’ve been on it’s really hard to go against them at prices like this. Mike Clevinger won’t make it easy and I think he’ll be the best shot that the White Sox have at a win in this series, but I don’t think it happens. Give me Seattle here.
