The set-up: The White Sox as a slight dog at home vs. the overachieving Mariners? I think this is a great spot to pull the trigger on the under-rated underdog. Chicago is getting big time production from slugger Yoan Moncada, who is hitting .458 with two home runs and then RBIs. Chicago won 10-8 in yesterday's series opener and Moncada was 2 for 4 with four RBI's. While the Mariners have 21 home runs through nine games, they also have 16 errors.

The pitchers: Seattle turns to Mike Leake (1-0, 3.00 ERA) who gave up two runs off seven hits with two walks over six innings in a win over the Red Sox on Saturday. Last year he was 10-10 with a 4.36 ERA.

Chicago counters with Lucas Giolito (1-0, 2.70) who gave up two runs off three hits while striking out eight over seven innings in a win over the Royals on Sunday.

The pick: I like Giolito to carry over his momentum and I like the White Sox to do the same after last night's win.
