Texas Rangers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

Right when it looked like the Mariners were turning the corner, they got swept by the Padres and their pitching stunk up the joint. I understand coming back home and throwing out an all-star in Gilbert. However, Gibert has been hittable through 23.2 frames with a 4.18 ERA and 1.10 WHIP. deGrom has been sharper with a 2.87 ERA and 0.96 WHIP, and he has 22 strikeouts in 15.2 innings. I love getting plus money with aces and we’re getting that with a Hall of Famer in deGrom. It’s hard to pass up. I have to side with the Rangers.
