Texas Rangers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction 

Seattle comes into this matchup looking for their fourth straight win, as they are right in the battle for a Wild Card spot in the AL. The Mariners are 34-43 on the road, while the Rangers are 43-37 at home this year. Seattle has played very well over the last two weeks and they will turn to Bryan Woo, who has been very good this season, but did get roughed up last time out. The Rangers are starting Andrew Heaney, who has been pretty solid all season, and the Rangers are 4-1 in his last five outings. The Mariners are hot right now, but the Rangers have been solid at home all season and I am going to trust Heaney to have another solid start. Take Texas here.
