They have lost five consecutive games heading into the middle of their series against the Mariners. Pitcher Davis Martin put in a solid performance in the most recent game, but the team fell short with only five hits and one run scored.

Mariners Hold Advantage Over White Sox in Bullpen-Focused Matchup

Both starting pitchers have demonstrated strong performance in recent appearances, maintaining an ERA of less than 3.00. However, both have faced challenges in pitching deep into games, with Evans achieving only one quality start in four games and Smith achieving three in nine. Their average innings per start is below six, indicating a reliance on their respective bullpens for this upcoming game. Given the Mariners' strong bullpen performance, ranking 11th in MLB in ERA compared to the White Sox's 25th ranking, the advantage appears to be in favor of the Mariners in a bullpen-focused game. Furthermore, the Mariners are on a four-game winning streak, while the White Sox have lost five consecutive games leading up to Tuesday night's matchup. Considering these trends, it is advisable to bet on the Mariners with the money line for another victory.
