There probably aren't going to be many chances remaining to fade Miguel Gonzalez so better take advantage now. Gonzalez is one of the worst starting pitchers in the majors so he may not be in Chicago's starting rotation much longer. Chicago is 5-16 in his last 21 starts.

Gonzalez isn't helped by the White Sox being one of the worst teams in the majors.

The White Sox are 1-8 at home. They've been lit up for 57 runs during their last six games with a horrific bullpen. The White Sox offense has produced two or fewer runs in seven of their past eight games. It's not a shock then that the White Sox are riding a seven-game losing streak.

So Mike Leake's task shouldn't be that difficult. Leake is more innings-eater than star, but he's reliable and has pitched well since joining the Mariners last season. The White Sox have never faced him.

The Mariners are 9-2 when scoring at least four runs. That shouldn't prove difficult against Gonzalez. He is 0-3 with a 12.41 ERA this season. Gonzalez has consistently been bad yielding four earned runs or more during each of his three starts this season. He has more walks than strikeouts.

Lifetime against the White Sox, Gonzalez has a 6.49 ERA in five starts.
