The Seattle Mariners ended a two-game losing streak last night with a 6-0 victory in the first game of their weekend series with the Rangers. The Mariners are in second place in the American League West with a 58-52 record. They trail Houston by 4 1/2 games. Seattle has won seven of their last ten games at home. They have won ten of their last fifteen games at home when the oddsmakers installed them as a money line favorite from -150 to -200. They have beaten thirty-one of the fifty-two opponents they have played this season with winning records. Logan Gilbert is their starting pitcher tonight. The right-hander has a 3-4 record with a 3.36 era and a 1.00 whip in fourteen starts. He comes off a good month when he had a 3.04 era and a 1.13 whip in five starts in July. Gilbert is striking out 36.0% of the batters he has faced, ranking in the top 97th percentile. His whiff rate of 34.7% ranks in the top 96th percentile. He is walking only 6.2% of opposing hitters, ranking in the top 81st percentile. In his eight starts at home at T-Mobile Park, he has a 1.94 era and a 0.65 whip. He gets a Rangers team that averages only 3.9 runs per game against right-handed pitchers with a .232 batting average and a .305 on-base percentage. They have won just three of their thirteen games this year against AL teams using a starting pitcher with an era of 3.70 or lower.
Texas lost for the third time in four games with last night’s loss. They are in third place in the AL West with a 57-53 record. They have a 34-20 record at home, yet on the road they are 23-33. They are only hitting .235 on the road with a .300 on-base percentage. They have won only six of their last seventeen games on the road against division opponents. The Rangers have pulled off only three of their last seventeen games when the oddsmakers installed them as a money line underdog from +125 to +175. Jack Leiter is their starting pitcher tonight. The right-hander has a 7-6 record with a 4.09 era and a 1.32 whip in eighteen starts. In his last eight starts, he has a 4.87 era and a 1.52 whip. Opposing hitters have an average exit velocity of 90.4 miles per hour in their batted balls against him, ranking in the lowest 14th percentile. These hitters have a hard-hit rate of 95 or more miles per hour in 43.4% of their batted balls against him. Hitters have a barrel rate of 11.3% of their batted balls against him, ranking in the lowest 11th percentile. The Mariners had a slugging percentage of .430 last month, and their lineup was bolstered by acquiring Eugenio Suarez from Arizona at the trade deadline. Play Seattle with the money line.
Good luck - Team Del Genio.
