The Mariners enter this game on an 8 game winning streak. They won their last series against the Toronto Blue Jays 4-0 completing the sweep in a 4-game series. They enter this game with a 45-42 record overall and have a road record of 21-22. This is the series opener of a 4-game series with the Rangers on Thursday with the series opener and series finale of a 2-game series, also a double-header, against the Washington Nationals still to be played on Wednesday. Their offense ranks 15th in the MLB with a .703 OPS. Chris Flexen is their starting pitcher on Wednesday for game 1 with a bullpen day for game 2 while Marco Gonzales is making his start in this game on Thursday. He is 5-9 with a 3.24 ERA this season. His team lost 2 of their last 3 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 0 HRs, and 0 BB with 0 Ks on 8 hits through 6.2 IP against the Toronto Blue Jays. 

 

The Rangers lost 2 of their last 3 games and enter this game off of a loss. They won their last series against the Minnesota Twins 2-1 in a 3-game series. They enter this game with a 40-45 record overall and have a home record of 20-22. This is the 1st game of a 4-game series with the Mariners on Thursday with the 3rd game of their series against the Oakland Athletics still to be played on Wednesday. Their offense ranks 16th in the MLB with a .702 OPS. Jon Gray is on the mound on Wednesday while Martín Pérez will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Thursday. He is 7-2 with a 2.72 ERA this season. His team won their last 6 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 6 ER, 2 HRs, and 1 BB with 5 Ks on 7 hits through 6 IP against the Minnesota Twins. 

The current betting odds have the Rangers listed as a slight favorite in this game. The Mariners have been playing very well in their games recently as they have become one of the hottest teams in the MLB over the last week. They have won 8 straight games and have been scoring a lot of runs in those games as well as their offense has been heating up. Their lineup has also been getting a lot healthier recently as they have had some players return from injury and suspension such as their 2 leaders in offense, Ty France and Jesse Winker. The Rangers have also been playing well in their recent games though, they have not been going on long win streaks like the Mariners but they have been consistently winning series and their bats have also been heating up in these games as well. This game could come down to pitching and the Rangers have a slight advantage in that department here with Perez on the mound. He has been very good all season as he does not allow many runs in his starts and the team has won almost all of their games when he is the starter this season. He gives his team a very good chance to win this at home where the Rangers have been playing better recently and the Mariners bullpen should also be a little spent here with their double-header the day before this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.
