MLB Betting Trends
Seattle
Seattle has won four of its last five Game 2’s in a series. However, they are just 1-4 in their last five games against a right-handed starter.
Chicago
The White Sox are 1-6 in their last seven against AL West opponents and 7-21 in their last 28 Tuesday games.
Prediction:
Chicago got the win on Monday, but I still need to see more from them before I expect them to win consistently. I am not sure what you can expect from Volstad on the mound, as he is making his first start this year. I am not sure he can get deep into the game and the Chicago bullpen is a mess.
The Pick: Seattle Mariners -140
