Seattle at Chicago

Felix Hernandez gets the ball for Seattle in this one, and he has been locked-up by the Mariners with a nice long term contract. He always generates interest from gamblers, so he is quite frequently over-priced. He has been a marginal pitcher on the road, where he is just 62-59 in his career. The Mariners are also negative money when he pitches on the road as a favorite. Dylan Axelrod will face the Mariners for the first time, and the pitcher usually has the advantage as the hitters have not seen him yet. The Mariners have not been good vs. a winning team at just 7-20 in their last 27, and are just 1-6 in Hernandez' last 7 starts on the road vs. a winning team. Go with the White Sox.
