Rangers vs Mariners Prediction
The Mariners need to start stacking some wins if they’re going to get to where they’re trying to go. They should like their chances with Miller on the bump, as he has a 2.27 ERA and 0.88 WHIP on the season. Gore strikes out a lot of batters, but he gets rocked in the other at-bats. This month alone, through 19.2 innings, Gore has allowed 24 hits and 18 runs. Gore has allowed 3 or more earned runs in 5 of his last 7 starts. Soft price, I’ll roll with the Mariners and the better arm.
