Iwakuma only pitched in relief against the White Sox last year, but facing the White Sox lineup that was 3rd in the league a year ago in HR could be a major issue for a guy that was among the league's leaders in HR/FB ratios at 17%. He'll have to contend with Adam Dunn, Konerko and Rios in the middle of the line up and do it all on the road where he has not been able to put up great numbers posting a 4.20 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP a year ago. The White Sox are 24-11 in their last 35 home starts vs. a RH starter.

On the flip side Chris Sale had a 2.30 ERA at home and a 2.79 ERA during the day. He'll face the Mariners line up that was ranked 24th in OPS vs. LHP and 30th with a .625 OPS during day games where they were 23-30. The White Sox were 31-23 during day games and ranked 12th with a .738 OPS. White Sox bullpen is also playing excellent and Sale should get to 7 innings as he had a 2.93 ERA in 2 starts vs. the Mariners a year ago with a total of 15.1 IP thrown. The White Sox have owned the Mariners going 40-15 in their last 55 home meetings with them.
