Seattle at Chicago

Jose Contreras has been great for Chicago this year but Gil Meche is no slouch. Meche is 11-8 with a 4.24 ERA. He's allowed just 8 earned runs in his last three starts. And Contreras has an 11.57 ERA in his last two starts here. Chicago is reeling right now having lost 10 of their last 18 home games and six of their last seven overall. They are scoring just 3.0 runs per game over that span while Seattle is scoring 7.1 per game over the same time period. Meche is 11-4 over the past two seasons during the second half vs. great teams (54%+) as he gets up for these contests. Good spot here to fade the struggling Sox with very good pitcher on the mound for Seattle.
