seattle vs white soxs.. thoughts?

[rnunez91]

Whats everyone leaning for this game.. Seattle is hot right now and pineda is one of the best pitchers pitching this year. Hard 2 go against seattle when chicago white sox are 5-5 last 10 games, lost 2 in a row.. and have a winless pitcher trying to get its first win. John danks is 0-8 with a 5.25 era. I understand hes due for a win but against a hot team, AND a hot pitcher? seattle or nothing for me expecially with that price

[stevenash]

Danks is lights out against the collection of Mariners he will face tonight.

I think the White Sox will win by two or more runs tonight.

Good Luck if you bet on this game and pick White Sox!!!!!!!

I agree with Rnunez91, The Mariners are playing better baseball of late PLUS they send a very talented young right hander to the mound in Michael Pineda. Facing a winless John Danks, i'd say you would be crazy to pick him to win. For this matchup you gotta roll the dice on Seattle and hope they can rough Danks up like he has been all year. Pineda will keep them in the game, but the Mariner bats will have work to do. The line is dead even right now @1.91, Take the hot Seattle Mariners.

Red hot seattle? There is a reasons why the game is EVEN today.

Seattle is hitting a mere .205 the last 7 days, and .181 the last 10 games against L handed pitchers. On the flip side CWS is hitting .100 MORE with an ERA of .306 the last 7 days (3rd in the legaue).

The Mariners have lost eight consecutive games and 12 of 13 overall at U.S. Cellular Field so this may be the "Perfect Storm" that Danks needs to break out of his winless streak.

when danks takes the mound the white sox are 1-10. they might win 21-1 tonight but if you are betting them minus juice vs a stud pitcher and a team that is playing fairly well you are in hope and pray mode. good luck!

[Terrapin Station]

Small play on Mariners for me. Good luck tonight guys.

[HoulihansTX]

CWS are paper giants.

[Pick'nParlays]

CWS are paper giants.

is that a good thing htx?

[shade3599]

i like the white sox. Danks is due stevenash said he is unstoppable against a lot of those mariners.

[ThingsFallApart]

is that a good thing htx?

No he's saying they look good on paper but that doesnt translate onto the field. A smart bettor goes SEA, a lucky one goes CWS. Im second guessing my SEA pick with these numbers, some teams just cant beat others on the road.

[Jerrod]

Like the mariners tonight danks has been straight terrible this year

[FourFeathers]

Sox don't need luck tonite They win 6-3

[gangeriver]

White sox bullpen was like a garbage first of season. Nowadays bullpen is solid but hitters are cold.Guys remember the first tigers match, 3 batters walked in first inning but white sox hitters made only one run (with groundball) also they could not make a run 5. inning when bases loaded and nobody out...there were a lot of opportunities and I belive that even Padres hitters would make 10 runs at least. (meanwhile be careful about Oliver's next match and fade him!)
Actually I like this guys (besides Dunn, can't hit,can't catch easy flyballs and makes a lot of errors), but they are not so hot nowadays. Also Danks is the worst SP for this season.
Mariners with Pineda and I take Mariners moneyline -102

[CanuckG]

Mariners now +100 at Pinny. Pineda at even money must be a steal right

[BigBoi]

Chw. Better lineup and at home

[boeing power]

All the squares are on the mariners .

[MoneySportsGuy]

Have to go with Seattle tonight, Pineda is solid, Danks has been stinking it up. Yes, he has a good record vs Seattle, but those stats can play with your head. Sometimes they hold up, but more often, the hot team with hot pitcher is going to win. Winning 3 out of 4 vs Rays is no joke, Rays are not a crappy team and Seattle really have been playing well.

[thebestthereis]

white sox and danks look good here at this price with seattle being a below average road team in general and the fact that they cannot hit lefties worth a flip. pass for me cause danks has not won yet this year, a streak i cannot back.

[lunchbawks]

I got Seattle tonight. Goodluck whatever you decide

[Duby]

I like the White Sox in a low scoring 3-2 type of game

[Sawyer]

Under.

[HoulihansTX]

Under.

Over oer

[suicidekings]

Seattle is a much better play than the Sox, however that only amounts to a small play at best. If you win with Danks tonight then you've had a lucky day.

[LGHT]

What team has the WORSE batting average their last 7 games at .205???

SEATTLE

and the winnless sp as a fav

[crazykind]

Mariners have won 6 consecutive series and 15 of their last 20 games. Tonight they send their most consistent pitcher to the mound in Miguel Pineda against John Danks, winless on the year with a 7.36 era in his last 3 starts. Yet the White sox are favored....

Smells like a low scoring game with the white sox coming out on top (4-2 on a 7th inning Konerko dinger, for those who like the called shots =). As a Mariner fan, I hope im wrong - As a bettor, I like the under...GL all

The Sox have never seen Pineda and he's murder on righties, who are hitting only .177 against him (6 of 9 sox starters are RH). With Danks' issues this year, Chicago is a bad play. Doesn't mean Seattle is a good play necessarily, but if forced to choose I would back Seattle here.

Chi Sox or no play

Let me get this straight you would pick the WORSE hitting team in the league (last 7 days) on the ROAD who's opposing starter is 4-0 with a 1.13 ERA against them, and that team also is hitting over .300 the last 7 days.

Yeah that makes a lot of since

[BernardMadoff]

Not sure how anyone could play Danks tonight.

Mariners are 5-2 in that 7 game span, scoring 7 or more runs in 3 of their last 4 games... Seattle hits better on the road and Pineda is a little better at home, but not by a huge amount. Chicago has actually been better on the road this season than at home.

How is Danks record from last season against Seattle more relevant than his current season performance? He hasn't been the same pitcher this year...

[CanuckG]

All you mariners backers going to need a miracle. Like I said....Pineda isnt going to get any run support and line movement says it all
