Rangers vs Mariners Prediction
Seattle comes into this contest looking to complete the sweep and they have scored 21 runs in their last three games. The Mariners have really improved their hitting over the last week and will face a Texas pitching staff that has allowed at least five runs in four of their last five games. Both of these starting pitchers have been very good so far this season, as both have a WHIP below 0.70, so runs should be at a premium in this one. This should be a very close game that could go either way, but I will side with Seattle and their hot bats.
