Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m on the under in this game. The Rangers’ offense has been borderline non-existent in a lot of their recent games, and I feel like I need to see the Rangers get back on track before giving this team the benefit of the doubt. On the other side, the Mariners have been hot, but this Rangers bullpen has been solid in recent games as well, and I think we come in under the number.
