Mariners Set to Unleash Relentless Assault on White Sox—Can Anyone Stop Them?
The Mariners were good before the trade deadline and have gotten even better since. This year has been very good for them on their home field, and this homestand has been no different. They are currently 5-1, going for their fourth straight win. They still have three more against Tampa before they need to leave. They have scored at least four runs in each of the games they’ve played. The lineup is filled with power bats and has a nice balance of contact hitters. Seattle’s lineup will be a tough one to battle even for the best pitchers. Against these inexperienced ones of the White Sox, they’ve been overmatched. Today, the Mariners send out Logan Gilbert to the mound. Gilbert is only 3-4 but holds a 3.45 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP. He has been even better at home, producing a 2.27 ERA. He likely won’t produce a scoreless outing, but he should keep runs down from the White Sox. Chicago has actually hit Gilbert rather well, going 12-for-42 against him.Â
