Texas Rangers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
The Rangers have cooled off over their last few games and throwing out Rocker doesn’t make them any more appealing. Rocker has just five career starts and he’s allowed 25 hits and 12 earned runs in 19.2 innings. The Mariners are better than their record indicates and it’s sustainable as this is a roster that should be competing for a playoff spot. Woo has been sharp over the last couple of years and he has 11 strikeouts in 12 innings this season. The Mariners have stepped up offensively over their last two games and they have the pitching edge in this spot. Give me the Mariners and the reasonable price.
