Seattle Mariners vs Texas Rangers Prediction
The Rangers are getting the benefit of the doubt because deGrom is on the mound, a two-time CY Young winner. deGrom is off to a fine start this season, allowing 26 hits and 10 runs in 33 innings. I get it. However, it doesn’t matter how well deGrom pitches when the Rangers have scored a combined three runs in their last four games. The Rangers have scored three or fewer runs in 10 of their last 11 games. It’s not a surprise that the Rangers have lost 11 of their last 15 games. The Mariners are racking up the wins, and while Evans has just five MLB innings under his belt, he was respectable in his debut against the Marlins. I’ll take a shot with the Mariners and the plus money based on the Rangers not scoring runs.
