<p><span>Gavin Floyd</span> has played the roll of stopper for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.southsidesox.com/">White Sox</a> many times this season. Though he's coming off of a loss in a disappointing start against Baltimore, he's been relatively consistent for the White Sox, and he and <span>Philip Humber</span> are just about the only good parts of the current rotation.</p>
<p>Floyd is now 3-2 on the season with a 4.39 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. He's either very good or very mediocre in his starts this season -- in three starts he's given up four, six, and six earned runs, while in the other three he's given up zero, two, and two runs. In his career against Seattle he's 2-4 with a 5.40 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP. <span>Chone Figgins</span>, <span>Ichiro Suzuki</span>, and <span>Milton Bradley</span> have all had some degree of success against Floyd over their careers.</p>
<p>Pitching for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.lookoutlanding.com/">Mariners</a> will be <span>Doug Fister</span>. Fister has had a good start to the season and is 2-3 with a 2.70 ERA and 1.31 ERA. In his career against the White Sox, Fister is 0-1 with a 2.25 ERA and 1.10 WHIP. <span>Juan Pierre</span> and <span>Alexei Ramirez</span> are both 3-for-7 off of him, each with a double.</p>
<p>The weather in Seattle is expected to be cloudy with a chance of showers and a game time temperature in the high-40s. First pitch is at 8:10 P.M., CDT, and the game will be televised on WGN and ROOT Sports.</p>
