The Chicago White Sox and Seattle Mariners meet for Game 1 of a three-game series in Seattle. The Sox will go with Michael Kopech while the Mariners will send Bryan Woo to the mound. Kopech has posted a 4.03 ERA this season and a 1.18 WHIP. He's allowed two or fewer runs in five of his last six starts. Their bullpen is banged up and inconsistent and will need a great start from Kopech in this one. Woo comes into this game with a 10.80 ERA and 1.95 WHIP, in just 6.2 innings of work. The Chicago White Sox have won seven of the last 10 games when facing a starting pitcher that has a WHIP that is greater than 1.30. Neither offense is overpowering but the SOx have an advantage on the mound. Woo is not expected to go long and the Sox need a big start from Kopech as thier bullpen has not been good and is injured. I am looking for the Sox bats to score enough off Woo to get the win.

Play on Chicago.
