Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m on the under here. I think this is going to be a pitcher’s duel with two quality options in Bryan Woo and MacKenzie Gore starting here, but also two inconsistent offenses don’t hurt that total either. This feels like a first to 3 wins kind of game so give me the under in this one.
