The Chicago White Sox vs. Seattle Mariners Showdown: A Laugher with a Side of Struggles
The Chicago White Sox are about to face the Seattle Mariners like a man walking into a bar (bad joke alert: why? Because they’re hoping for a drink, but more likely a loss). Let’s break this down with the precision of a baseball analyst who’s seen every blooper reel.
The Pitcher Prop Picks: A Tale of Two Walks
- Bryan Woo (SEA): The Mariners’ starter has a 3.11 ERA, but he’s walked at least one batter in every start this season. Bet the Over 1.5 earned runs (-110) if you want to cash in on his control issues. And if you’re feeling spicy, take Over 6.5 strikeouts (+110)—he’s got the Ks, just not the command.
- Davis Martin (CWS): The White Sox’s starter has a 5.40 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP (that’s “Walks, Hits, and a Whole Lot of Sadness Per Inning”). Bet the Over 2.5 earned runs (-125) and Over 4.5 strikeouts (+100)—because why not? It’s Chicago.
Hitter Props: The “I’ll Try Again” Chronicles
- Cal Raleigh (SEA): The Mariners’ slugger is a +220 to hit a home run. Bet him to go deep or bet against him—either way, you’ll probably win.
- Julio Rodriguez (SEA): The 2022 AL ROY is a +106 to hit a home run. He’s got the power, but the White Sox pitching staff? Not so much.
- Randy Arozarena (SEA): Bet the Over 1.5 total bases (-110). He’s got speed, and the White Sox defense? A sieve.
The Moneyline: A One-Sided Bet
Seattle is a -140 favorite to win outright. The White Sox are a +300 underdog, which is about the same odds as your Uncle Bob hitting a home run in a pick-up game.
Spread: Why Bother?
Take the Mariners -1.5 runs (-110). The White Sox have scored 3.8 runs per game this season—about as exciting as a spreadsheet.
Final Verdict
The Mariners are favored to win by at least a run, and honestly, it’s more for your entertainment than Chicago’s. The White Sox are here to make you laugh with their collective struggles. Bet on Cal Raleigh’s home run and Bryan Woo’s earned runs—it’s a recipe for a Mariners win and a White Sox heart attack.
Prediction: Seattle 5, Chicago 2. And yes, the “2” is for the two White Sox fans who still show up.
