The Chicago White Sox won just one of three games against Seattle and gave up a grand total of 29 runs during their first home series of the season this weekend. While I doubt they'll get roughed up quite like that on the mound here Monday afternoon, I still think they'll come up short.

Tampa Bay left-hander Blake Snell (1-1, 3.46 ERA), the reigning American League Cy Young winner, is 2-0 behind a minuscule 0.93 ERA in four career starts against the White Sox who are 9-25 in their last 34 home games vs. a left-handed starter.

The Rays' pitching staff has held opponents to two runs or fewer in eight of their past nine games and their bullpen's ERA of 1.88 is the best in baseball this season.

Carlos Rodon (1-1, 1.59 ERA) will take the ball for the White Sox. He allowed just one unearned run on two hits over six innings against the Cleveland Indians last time out, but note that the Rays are 20-8 in their last 28 games vs. a left-handed starter.

It's also worth pointing out that the White Sox's bullpen owns a ghastly 6.52 ERA on the season.

8* play on Tampa Bay Rays.
