Well in this one the main difference in be in pitching really, where the white sox have a huge edge, for factor really, a very bad pitcher from the mariners (Batista) and even if he leaves early the mariners bullpen is quite bad, worse then either white sox bullpen or white sox starting pitcher (Floyd) so, in my opinion this one is going to be all white sox.

The mariners will be sending into the mound M Batista, a terrible pitcher this season, he has a season ERA of 5.82, with last 3 games ERA of 8.71! well he has never had a great season, but this one is going really bad. Batista is walking more then is striking out! So the white sox will have plenty of chances on this game.

The white sox will send in G Floyd, which has a season ERA of 2.50 – it’s a lot better then Batista, and Floys even facing hard hitting teams performed well, so I can’t see any reason why he shouldn’t today.

Then in terms of bullpen the white sox have, again, a big edge 2.29 vs 4.50, so everything going the away side on this one.

Both teams are hitting very bad lately, but even there the white sox are hitting not has bad as the mariners (0.227 vs 0.198), so in my opinion with batista in the white sox are winning this one easy.
