Yesterday’s Results for Seattle Mariners vs Texas Rangers

BIG AL's MLB DIVISION GAME OF THE WEEK!

Analysis: At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Seattle Mariners over the Texas Rangers. This is an action play - we won't be listing any pitchers. The Rangers offense has been simply abominable, and that's with slugger Joey Gallo in the lineup almost every day. But yesterday, Texas shipped Gallo off to the Yankees for a bundle of prospects, so imagine how anemic the Rangers run production is going to be the rest of this season? And there's still time to trade more quality players, and RHP Kyle Gibson is a hot commodity and could easily be dealt before today's 4:00 pm deadline. It's tough enough when the Texas lineup is facing an average or below-average starter, but RH rookie Logan Gilbert is looking like anything but that right now. The former #14 overall draft pick (2018) is 4-2 with a 3.81 ERA and a 5.15 K:BB ratio in 12 starts for the M's covering 56 2/3 innings. He's likely licking his chops for start number 13 tonight against what will be a depleted batting order. Seattle is 16-5 in the last 21 meetings with Texas while the Rangers are 6-18 in their last 24 vs. teams from the AL West (their own division). Take the M's. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.
