In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 1 HR, and 0 BB with 1 K on 6 hits through 5 IP against the Oakland Athletics. 

The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a favorite in this game. The Mariners have been playing very well in their recent games and they enter this game as one of the hottest teams in the MLB right now with their 11 game winning streak. They continue to win games with their offense as it has been heating up and even in their series opener of this series, they managed to erase a 5-0 deficit to win the game. The Rangers have been good in their last few games but their bullpen has not been pitching well and they blew the series opener here as they have been allowing a lot of late runs in their games over the last week. They have a bad starter on the mound here in Howard though and this hot Mariners team will score runs on him here. The Mariners also have their ace on the mound here who has been great all season so all signs point to the Mariners to stay hot in this one. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.
