Seattle Mariners vs Texas Rangers Prediction
This line feels weird considering we have no idea how Jacob deGrom is going to look considering he hasn’t pitched in a year and a half. Emerson Hancock hasn’t pitched a lot lately, but he has far and away more recent reps under his belt. The Seattle Mariners are also still somewhat in the playoff race, just 4.5 games out of the division and a wild card spot. I’d have to lean toward the Mariners and the plus money due to the unknown surrounding deGrom.
