Seattle Mariners vs. Chicago White Sox Baseball Predictions: Chicago Cubs Hall of Famer Ernie Banks, always the optimist and lover of the game of baseball is known for his quip, "Lets Play Two". That's exactly what will happen in Chicago tonight except on the city's southside when the White Sox take on the Seattle Mariners in a twin-bill at U.S.Cellular Field. In the first game at 5 p.m. ET a pair of righthanders will battle in veteran Bartolo Colon (1-1, 6.14 ERA) for Chicago and Chris Jakabauskas (1-2,7.11 ERA) for Seattle.
Game Two will pit a pair of aces against each other when the Sox send lefthander John Danks (2-0, 0.95 ERA) to the mound and the Mariners counter with hard throwing righthander Felix Hernandez, already a three game winner this season with a 3.12 ERA. The game also marks the return of former White Sox outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. to U.S.Cellular Field.
These two clubs were slated to begin their series on Monday but rains forced postponement of that game to Tuesday.
