Mariners vs Rangers Prediction
The Rangers are playing great ball in the second half and are worth a look because of it, but I just can’t get there with Rocker on the bump. Rocker has a 5.73 ERA and 1.44 WHIP on the season, and he has a 9.91 ERA and .354 allowed batting average in 26.1 road innings. Kirby is pitching his best right now, allowing 19 hits and 10 runs in his last 23.1 innings. Kirby has allowed 12 runs in his last 35.1 innings. The Mariners need to take advantage of home games if they’re going to lock up a playoff spot. The M’s have the clear edge on the mound. Give me the Mariners.
