Seattle Mariners vs Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m on the Mariners here. I’ll admit it is impressive that the Rangers managed to take 2 of 3 from the Dodgers, but the Dodgers also shot themselves in the foot a ton in that series. The Rangers are going to have a hard time winning games scoring 2 or 3 runs in a game, especially if Andrew Heaney is the starter. Sure, Heaney’s pitched well in some of his recent outings, but he’s a pitcher normally good for 3-4 runs allowed in a start and I don’t think he’ll be able to match zeroes consistently with Luis Castillo here. I’ll take the Mariners at the reasonable price.
