Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m on the Mariners here. I think this is a perfect spot for George Kirby to bounce back and for the Mariners to get back on track as Kirby has flat out owned the Mariners for the better part of his career. Eovaldi’s struggled out of the gate so far this season and I think the Rangers fall short in this one. Give me Seattle.
