Rangers vs Mariners Prediction

I’m rolling with the Mariners in this one. I get why the Rangers would be favored with deGrom getting the nod in this game, and deGrom is still the Rangers’ staff ace. However, the Mariners don’t score enough to be able to trust them against anyone right now. While I have my concerns with Logan Evans in just his second major league start, I think he has the far more consistent offense behind him. The Mariners’ bullpen is on par with how good the Rangers’ Pen has been as well this year. Give me Seattle in this one.
