Texas Rangers vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction

I’m on the under here. This is a fantastic pitching matchup of deGrom and Gilbert with two teams that have been relatively ineffective offensively for much of the season and I think that this is just going to be a low-scoring battle, whether it’s the pitching or a lack of offense but either way i think it’s a low-scoring duel in this one. Give me the under.
