Texas Rangers vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction
I’m on the under here. It’s another pitching matchup between two quality starting options in Eovaldi and Kirby between two teams that have had real trouble putting runs on the board this season. Add in two quality bullpens, and I think we have another low-scoring battle here. Give me the under.
