Rangers vs Mariners Prediction
The Mariners are having issues hitting the ball this season and I doubt a road game against a Hall of Fame pitcher gets them back on track. There’s value in getting an all-star caliber pitcher like Gilbert in the plus money role but it’s not enough bang for my buck. The Rangers are playing the better ball and deGrom is still deGrom when he’s healthy. You usually don’t get deGrom at prices this cheap. I’m going to side with the Rangers on Monday night.
