Texas Rangers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

Usually, I fade pitchers making their major league debut because we have no idea what to expect. However, Kumar Rocker isn't your typical pitcher making a big league debut, as he's a top-100 prospect and has the potential to be a top-of-the-rotation starter. That alone is worth a look at the plus money. The Seattle Mariners look like they're getting their act together, but they've also let us down many times this season right when we start to believe. Give me the Rangers and the more favorable price with a young stud on the mound.
