Rangers vs Mariners Prediction

The Rangers are 7-3 in their last 10 meetings against the Mariners but have lost their last two visits in Seattle.

In this Rangers vs Mariners Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -130 home favorites. The Mariners have been struggling against left-handed pitching lately, with just 2.8 runs in their last 10 games and their bullpen has been atrocious, with a 6.27 ERA in that span. Since they will not start Woo or Gilbert, which are the only Seattle starters I trust, I will have to side with the Rangers and the plus money in this one, even though I don’t trust Cody Bradford. The Mariners are 3-7 in their last 10 games and the value lies with the road dog in this one. Take the Rangers on the moneyline for plus money.
