The Mariners won their 3-game series against the Chicago Cubs 2-1. They enter this game with a 41-38 record overall and have a road record of 21-19. This is the series opener of a 3-game series with the Rangers on Friday with the series finale of their series against the Minnesota Twins still to be played on Thursday. The Mariners won the series opener of that series on Monday, won the 2nd game on Tuesday, and lost the 3rd game on Wednesday. Their offense ranks 9th in the MLB with a .730 OPS. Emerson Hancock is their starting pitcher on Thursday while Logan Gilbert is making his start in this game on Friday. He is 2-2 with a 3.12 ERA this season. His team lost 2 of their last 3 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 4 ER, 3 HR, and 0 BB with 6 SO on 8 hits through 5 IP against the Chicago Cubs.

The Rangers are entering this series off a win and won their 3-game series against the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 40-41 record overall and have a home record of 23-16. This is the 1st game of a 3-game series with the Mariners on Friday and they have Thursday off as a day of rest. Their offense ranks 28th in the MLB with a .659 OPS. Jacob deGrom was their starting pitcher on Wednesday while Nathan Eovaldi is making his start in this game on Friday. He is 4-3 with a 1.56 ERA this season. His team lost 2 of their last 3 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 1 walk with 2 strikeouts on 2 hits through 2 innings pitched against the Toronto Blue Jays.

The current betting odds have the Rangers listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rangers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 40-41 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AL West. They have looked a lot better in their own ballpark though with their 23-16 home record. Meanwhile, the Mariners have looked good in their games this season with their 41-38 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL West. They have also been a good road team this year with their 21-19 road record. The Mariners have been the slightly hotter team lately as they are 6-4 in their last 10 games while the Rangers are 5-5, but the Rangers have been better at home all season and they also have the better pitching matchup to take advantage of. The Mariners are going with Gilbert in this one and he has looked good this season. He is 2-2 with a 3.12 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs this season, but he did give up 4 earned runs in his last start and hasn't been as good on the road. The team has also lost 2 of their last 3 games with him starting and any runs given up here could be a big blow with how good the Rangers bullpen has been too. The Rangers are going with Eovaldi in this one and he is 4-3 with a 1.56 ERA this season. His team has also lost 2 of the last 3 games he started, but he gave up no runs in his last start and that has been a common theme for him all year as he hasn't given up many runs at all. The Mariners offense has been really good lately, but they won't be able to power their way through this pitching staff. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.

"We got a big stretch coming up after the off day. It's a good stretch of games. So looking to give guys days off here and there to keep them as fresh as possible. ... That's important. We got the off day coming up, that'll be another nice breather for guys. After that, I think it's 17 straight. Something you want to be careful of and cognizant of." - Dan Wilson on this road trip they have been on. 

“I even stood over there and said to [Cowser], like, ‘Dang it, I wanted that.’ But it’s -- they’re Major League hitters, too. So I threw a fastball -- I think it was a fastball, I asked when I came in. Think I kind of blacked out, but I was like, ‘What did I throw there?’ And it was a fastball, and he got to it.” - Jacob deGrom after their win against the Orioles in their game on Wednesday.
