The Mariners are coming into this game with a 23-29 record overall and they are 11-19 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Rangers on Sunday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Sunday with their 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Marco Gonzales is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while rookie pitcher George Kirby will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 1-1 with a 3.46 ERA this season. His team lost 3 of their last 4 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 1 BB with 8 Ks on 4 hits in 6 IP against the Baltimore Orioles. They scored 19 runs in their last series averaging just over 6 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 15 runs against them averaging 5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Rangers are coming into this game with a 24-27 record overall and they are 12-15 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 3 game losing streak. They just split their 4-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays 2-2 and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Mariners on Sunday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Glenn Otto is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Martín Pérez will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 4-2 with a 1.42 ERA this season. His team won 6 of their last 7 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 0 BB with 5 strikeouts on 3 hits in 7 innings played against the Tampa Bay Rays. 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 Rangers are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. The Rangers have been playing very well at home in their recent games, they have lost a few games straight now but they have Perez on the mound here and he has been lights out all season. Perez has only had two bad starts this season, if you even want to call them bad starts, where he gave up 3 runs in each of his first two starts of the season and since then he has not pitched in a game where he allowed more than 1 run in that game. He has been their best pitcher this season and they are going up against a Mariners team that is not very good on the road and has been very inconsistent this season. Kirby is starting  for the Mariners and he has not been awful this season but he is still a rookie and the Rangers have some good players in their lineup that will get to him here at home. The best bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.

"I would have freaked out, quite frankly. The guy's standing 30 feet from home plate and he doesn't waffle. Says a lot about how he's wired." - Scott Servais after his team’s win against the Rangers on Friday.

 

 

"Obviously, he's not going to be perfect all year. I think the walk is probably the thing he'll talk about. I can't say anything bad about Joe. He just made a mistake and the guy hit it." - Chris Woodward after his team’s loss against the Mariners on Friday.
