Mariners vs Rangers Prediction

The current betting odds have the Rangers listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mariners haven't looked great in their games this season with their 51-52 record overall, but that record has them right near the top of the AL West. They haven't been a good road team either with their 21-29 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Rangers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 51-51 record overall, but that record has them right at the top of the AL West. They have looked better in their own ballpark though with their 25-24 home record this season. The Rangers are 5-5 in their last 10 games and haven't looked great lately, but they have still been the better team with the Mariners being 4-6 in their last 10 games. The Mariners are going with Woo in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 7-6 with a 4.16 ERA and he has been giving up quite a few runs. He only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start and the team has won 2 of their last 3 games with him starting, but that hasn't been a common theme and he has had a lot more trouble in his road starts this year. The Rangers are going with Eovaldi in this one and he hasn't looked great this season either. He is 9-8 with a 4.21 ERA, but the team has been having a ton of success with him lately. He did give up 4 earned runs in his last start, but he will be looking to have a better start at home. The team has also won 5 of their last 6 games with him starting and they are going to bring their best effort for this series to stay ahead in the AL West. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.

Notable Quotes


“Tough afternoon today.” - Dan Wilson after his team’s loss against the Reds in their game on Wednesday. 


“I thought we took good at-bats. Just again, the bases loaded, no outs -- that was the difference in the game. It's been a little bit of an issue the whole year, quite honestly, with the bases loaded situations. We gotta figure out how to score in those situations. A crooked number there at least ties or puts us in the lead. A couple guys had some good swings, but obviously just one hit away from really breaking that open, which we couldn't do.” - Skip Schumaker after his team’s loss against the White Sox in their game on Wednesday.
