They enter this game with a 41-47 record overall and have a home record of 21-24. This is the 4th game of a 4-game series with the Mariners on Sunday with the 3rd game still to be played on Saturday.

In his last start, he allowed 4 ER, 0 HRs, and 1 BB with 3 Ks on 6 hits through 4.1 IP against the Oakland Athletics. 

The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a favorite in this game. They have been the hottest team in the MLB recently as they have won 12 straight games. They are playing very well in their games and have been scoring a lot of runs as well. The Rangers have not been great in their games over the last week and they have had a big problem with their pitching as their bullpen has been allowing a lot of late runs in their games. They also have Otto starting here and he has been awful this season so it is unlikely he even makes a deep start here and this bullpen will have to be called on once again. Flexen is starting for the Mariners here and he has not been great this season but he has been getting better in his recent starts and he also has one of the hottest offenses in the MLB right now to offer him some run support. The Mariners are hot and this is not the best pitching matchup to keep them off the board here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.

"Tonight was more of our typical formula, dominant starting pitching. We got some big hits tonight, no question about it. Talk about Julio, that is as good as at-bat against a quality bullpen arm. ... The looks in our dugout when that ball went over the fence, was like, did he just really do that? But he's a special player." - Scott Servais after his team’s win against the Rangers on Friday.

 

 

"We fought, we got within a run, you could feel the momentum. We were one pitch away from, that whole eighth inning, the bottom of the eighth changes. It's heartbreaking. But like I've said many times this year, we've got to bounce back and come back tomorrow." - Chris Woodward after his team’s loss against the Mariners on Friday.
