Texas Rangers vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction
I’m on the under in this game. This is a division rivalry late in the year with the Mariners trying to play spoiler, but their numbers across the board as of late still haven’t been all that inspiring. That being said I just envision a low-scoring, first to 3 or 4 wins kind of game so I’m rocking with the under in this game.
