The Mariners and White Sox meet in the Windy City in a match up where each team is several games under .500, but still has a chance, albeit a slim one, to make the post season.
Each team is out of their division races, but the White Sox are 5.5 games out of the last AL playoff spot and the Mariners are 6.5 games out.

The Mariners have won 2 in a row and the White Sox snapped their 2-game skid with a win in their last game.
Seattle Mariners
The Mariners have been one of the bigger disappointments this season, as many picked them to win the AL West. At least they are a balanced team that ranks 25th in the Majors in both runs scored and team ERA.
Seattle has lost their last 38 of 51 games facing the White Sox in Chicago.

Roenis Elias was recently recalled from the Minors and since has only pitched 1 inning of relief work not giving up any earned runs in an 11-5 loss to the Oakland A’s.
Last season Elias went 1-1 with a 5.91 ERA against the White Sox.
The Mariners are 2-5 in Elias’ last 7 starts.
Chicago White Sox
Carlos Rodon is in his rookie season for the White Sox, who have won 3 of their last 4 games when he has gotten the starting call. His last start was facing Seattle where he only gave up 1 earned run in 7 innings in a 6-3 Chicago win.
Rodon is 1-1 with a 1.23 ERA in his last three starts.
The White Sox are 4-1 in Rodon’s last 5 starts facing teams from the AL West.
While the Seattle offense has struggled all season one player in the lineup he really has to worry about is Nelson Cruz. He is batting .370 with 18 home runs and 29 RBI in his last 33 games and he ranks 1st in the AL in HR and 6th in RBI.

Rodon had a solid outing against the Mariners on the 22nd of this month in Seattle and expect him to do the same at home tonight.
