Clearly a lot here points to another Seattle win as it is on a second eight-game winning streak in August. George Kirby is a stud and pitches today. That said, there are a LOT of trap factors too, including the end of a long road trip. Michael Kopech has been lousy of late for the Sox but does have excellent career splits vs. the M's. And maybe the positive karma of Jerry Reinsdorf finally waking up and firing his cuddle buddies in the front office will actually spill over to the field for one day because that team looks dead. Can't beat the price, and I don't like -1.5 even though that will be popular. Tim Anderson is back from suspension for CWS.

The Mariners have won eight games in a row, six of which they won by at least two runs. That included defeating the White Sox by at least three runs in both of the first two games of this series. Their lineup has an excellent opportunity to stay hot when they take on Michael Kopech, who has a 1.50 WHIP and has allowed 2.2 HR/9. The Mariners will start George Kirby, who has a 3.23 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. I like the Mariners to earn another decisive victory.
