Rangers vs Mariners Prediction

The Rangers are 8-3 in their last 11 meetings against the Mariners but have lost their last two of their last three visits in Seattle. 

In this Rangers vs Mariners Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -160 home favorites. I don’t like the pitching in this matchup, as both starters have a combined 9.85 ERA and are both coming off their worst starts of the season. Both offenses have been red-hot, scoring 11 runs combined in their last 10 games and both bullpens have been in terrible shape in the same span, with a combined 11.59 ERA. The opening game of the series had 15 total runs, so take the over 7.5 in this one.
