Gamethread: White Sox at Mariners

The worst offense in the bigs travels to the Pacific Northwest to face the best starting staff in baseball

Happy Monday (ha ha, I know) Sox fans! Your Chicago White Sox pay a visit to the Pacific Northwest for a four-game set against AL West-leading Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park. The M’s return home after a 3-3 road trip, dropping their last series against those pesky Kansas City Royals, while the Pale Hose actually won a series for a change, taking two of three from the Boston Red Sox on the South Side.

Seattle’s starting staff is one of if not the best in baseball so far in 2024. They lead all of baseball in quality starts. The White Sox starting staff? Not so much.

A bit of housekeeping before we get to the lineups:

A few injury updates:

Maybe just leave them there? Can we do that? Pretty please?!

Ugh.
