Mariners at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 6, Mariners 1

The 24-year-old rookie was fantastic for his 1st 5 starts, but then allowed 8 runs in his last start. Meanwhile, Eovaldi has been nearly unhittable over the last month and a half.

The Mariners are 1-6 in their last 7 road games while the Rangers are 4-0 in their last 4 games against the AL West.

Betting the Rangers moneyline isn’t bad here, but their performance against the spread has been great so you can get a better value there.

PASS.

The Rangers are 38-19 ATS this season, the best ATS record in the majors.

Fourteen of the Rangers’ last 15 wins have been by more than 1 run. They are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games.

The Mariners are 28-30 ATS overall and 9 of their last 10 losses have been by at least 2 runs.

BET RANGERS -1.5 (+135).
