After winning the first game of the series to extend their winning streak to three games, the 3-1 Chicago White Sox hope for another victory today as they host the 2-3 Seattle Mariners at 7:10 p.m. EST.

Robbie Ray is tasked with ending Seattle's three-game losing streak. The 2021 AL Cy Young got off to a hot start with his new team, holding the Twins to one run over seven innings in a win.

The White Sox will send Dallas Keuchel and expect a much better season than what he managed in 2021. Keuchel had a 5.28 ERA over 162 innings last year and got worse as the year wore on. With a number of injuries already to Chicago pitchers, the White Sox desperately need a bounce-back performance from the former ace.

Is he up to the task? Or will Ray overpower Chicago's lineup in a victory?

Let's check out the odds from WynnBET to help us find a winner in this Mariners vs White Sox matchup:

Mariners vs White Sox Prediction and Pick

This matchup is SCREAMING with value. Dallas Kuechel is bad. Real, real bad. Just take a look at his 2021 profile:

Yikes. I faded him as often as I could last season with smashing success and I can't wait to do it again this year. Honestly, the gambling gods couldn't have given us a better opportunity to do so today.

Robbie Ray is good. Real, real good. He had a 2.84 ERA with an obscene 248 strikeouts over 193.1 innings last year and looked excellent in his first start of 2022. Chicago's bats are certainly scary, but Ray has no business being an underdog to Kuechel, even if he's got Seattle's pathetic offense behind him.

The Mariners have lost three straight and haven't scored more than four runs a single time this year. That changes today. Give me Seattle to break their slump behind another great start from Ray and a terrible one from Kuechel.

Pick: Mariners (+110)
