The Mariners are coming into this game with a 21-29 record overall and they are 9-19 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just won their 3-game series against the Houston Astros 2-1 and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Rangers on Friday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Friday with their series finale of their series against the Baltimore Orioles still to be played on Thursday. Chris Flexen is the starting pitcher for them on Thursday while Logan Gilbert will be on the mound for them here on Friday. He is 5-2 with a 2.29 ERA this season. His team lost 4 of their last 5 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 0 BB with 5 Ks on 4 hits in 7 IP against the Houston Astros. They scored 12 runs in their last series averaging 6 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 9 runs against them averaging 4.5 runs allowed per game with the final game of that series still to be played.

 

The Rangers are coming into this game with a 24-26 record overall and they are 12-14 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game losing streak. They just split their 4-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays 2-2 and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Mariners on Friday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Friday. Taylor Hearn was the starting pitcher for them on Thursday while Dane Dunning will be on the mound for them here on Friday. He is 1-3 with a 4.31 ERA this season. His team lost 4 of their last 5 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 0 homers, and 3 BB with 5 strikeouts on 7 hits in 4.1 innings played against the Oakland Athletics. They scored 16 runs in their last series averaging 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 12 runs against them averaging 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Mariners are coming into this game not playing very well in their recent games. They have not been playing well on the road this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games either. They do not like playing games on the East coast this season but luckily, that will not be the case here. The Mariners will likely play better in this game and they have Gilbert on the mound who has been great this season. They are going up against a Rangers team that was heating up but has lost 2 games straight now and have been struggling to score runs in those games. Gilbert has been great this season and the Rangers will likely struggle to score runs on him here as well. The best bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.

"My stuff was good tonight. There were just some things that did not go my way." - Robbie Ray after their loss against the Orioles on Wednesday.

 

 

"We need to have better at-bats. We can't get caught in the moment, try to be the hero. Like, just a quality at-bat, know what you want to do up there and follow through with that. And I felt like we let that slip a little bit, especially late." - Chris Woodward after his team’s loss against the Rays on Wednesday.
