Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m on the Rangers here. I just can’t ignore how much Luis Castillo has been struggling in some of his recent starts with keeping the ball in the yard. Texas has had their fair share of struggles offensively this season and they’ve been the best under team in baseball this season, but I think this could be a good spot for the offense to click and get a win. It would be nice to know who the Rangers are starting here, but I think they’ll get it done regardless. Give me the Rangers here.
