George Kirby is starting for the Mariners in this game and he is 7-7 with a 3.20 ERA this season. He has been pitching very well in his recent starts as he has allowed 2 earned runs total in his last 2 starts and has also allowed 2 earned runs or less in 9 of his last 10 starts. Drew Thorpe is starting for the White Sox in this game and he is 3-1 with a 3.03 ERA this season. He has also been pitching well recently as he has allowed 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 5 starts, but the White Sox have been awful recently as they have lost 7 straight games coming out of the break and even if Thorpe pitches well here, the White Sox have scored 2 runs or less in 6 of those 7 games. The Mariners have also been awful recently as they have lost their last 3 straight games, but they still have a chance to catch the Astros in 1st place who just passed them in the standings before the break and this is a great spot for them to do so against one of the worst teams in the league this year. The Mariners will win this game.
