John Danks is off to a fantastic start for the Chicago White Sox, but we feel that he has been pitching over his head so far, while the starter for the Seattle Mariners, Chris Jakubauskas, has been atrocious to this point, so look for an Over tonight.

Jakubauskas was shelled by the Tampa Bay Rays for six earned runs and 10 hits while lasting only 3.1 innings in his last start, and he now owns a bloated 7.11 ERA while surrendering a whopping 23 baserunners in 12.2 innings (1.82 WHIP). Also keep in mind that Jakubauskas is a 30-year-old rookie, so do not expect much improvement, as he is what his numbers say he is. Thus, the White Sox may approach this total all by themselves.

If that is the case, it may not matter that Danks had a miniscule 0.95 ERA and 0.84 WHIP in three starts covering 19 innings. That said, he is not as good as those Cy Young-type numbers, and this may be a nice spot to come back down to earth given his last two starts vs. Seattle last season. Danks allowed 10 earned runs and 19 baserunners in just 9.1 innings over those two starts, and the Mariners look to be a much better team this year than last season.

Look for both teams to get their share of runs here, especially the White Sox, resulting in a combined total output of double-digits.
