Seattle Mariners vs Texas Rangers Prediction
Gilbert has been dealing this season, and he’s been even sharper on the road, where he has a 2.23 ERA and .215 batting average allowed. The problem is the Mariners can’t string together offense, and the losses are getting out of control. deGrom has been hit or miss this season, but he’s still a Hall of Fame pitcher capable of brilliance, and he has a 3.16 ERA and .195 allowed batting average at home. It’s hard to back the Mariners given their current form. I’m going to side with the Rangers and their ace on the bump.
