Seattle Mariners vs Texas Rangers Prediction
The Mariners are getting too much respect with this line and they’re just not playing well right now. The Rangers are simply playing better baseball and they have the edge at home with the quick turnaround. Also, the Mariners’ struggling offense likely won’t break out of this funk against a pitcher like Gore, who has swing-and-miss stuff. I’ll take my chances with the Rangers and the plus money.
