Seattle Mariners at Texas Rangers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Seattle Mariners at Texas Rangers odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Texas Rangers (36-67) host the Seattle Mariners (56-48) at Globe Life Field Saturday for the second game of a three-game set. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mariners vs. Rangers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Seattle beat Texas in the series opener Friday, 9-5, as Mariners rookie CF Jarred Kelenic batted 2-for-5 with 1 home run and 4 RBIs.

Season series: Mariners lead 8-3.

LHP Tyler Anderson is Seattle’s projected starter. Anderson is 5-8 with a 4.35 ERA (103 1/3 IP, 50 ER), 1.20 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 7.5 K/9 in 18 starts.

  • The Mariners picked up Anderson via a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates July 27 in exchange for a couple of minor league prospects.
  • Last outing: No-decision with 6 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 1 BB and 6 K in an 11-6 loss at the Arizona Diamondbacks July 20.

LHP Taylor Hearn is on the mound for the Rangers. Hearn is 2-3 with a 4.41 ERA (49 IP, 24 ER), 1.37 WHIP, 4.6 BB/9 and 9.7 K/9 over two starts and 29 relief appearances.

  • Last outing: No-decision with 3 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 1 BB and 3 K in Texas’s 3-1 loss at the Houston Astros Sunday.
  • 2021 home splits: 1-1 with a 4.43 ERA (20 1/3 IP, 10 ER), 1.57 WHIP and 1.7 K/BB in one start and 13 bullpen outings.

  • Money line: Mariners -135 (bet $135 to win $100) | Rangers +110 (bet $100 to win $110)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Mariners -1.5 (+120) | Rangers +1.5 (-145)
  • Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Mariners 8, Rangers 3

Money line (ML)

Simply put, Seattle’s implied win probability based on the MARINERS (-135) price is 57.14% and Seattle wins this game two-thirds of the time.

Even though Anderson is a “bottom of the rotation” type starter he’s got to be jacked up to be moved from the dumpster fire that is Pittsburgh’s organization to a Seattle squad that’s in the thick of the AL Wild Card hunt.

Furthermore, Hearn will be used Saturday as an “opener” for Texas’s bullpen day as a replacement for now-former starting RHP Kyle Gibson who was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies Friday.

Not only does no Gibson hurt the Rangers’ chances today but Hearn will be turning this game over in the early innings to a struggling Texas bullpen.

For instance, the Rangers relievers have the seventh-worst SIERA, sixth-worst xFIP and the 24th-ranked K-BB% since the All-Star Game.

Speaking of “struggling”, Texas’s lineup is by far the least productive unit thus far in the second half of the season.

The Rangers’ 45 wRC+ ranks dead-last and the next closest team is the Colorado Rockies with an 83 wRC+ following the All-Star Break.

BET 1 unit on the MARINERS (-135).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Slight “LEAN” to the MARINERS -1.5 (+120) for a tiny wager – if at all – because the Rangers have been getting crushed over the past 20 games. Texas has lost 17 of the last 20 games and 16 of those losses have been by at least 2 runs.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the OVER 8.5 (-115) for a half unit since there’s been “sharp” line movement on the total and the Over has cashed in five straight Mariners-Rangers meetings in Texas.

This game opened with an 8-run total before the market steamed it up to the current price and the Over 8.5 (-115) is juiced, which suggests there’s still money coming in on the Over.

Also, these division foes have a combined 47-37-1 O/U record in games against fellow AL West competition.

Seattle Mariners at Texas Rangers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Seattle Mariners at Texas Rangers odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Seattle Mariners (55-48) travel Friday to Globe Life Field to start a three-game set with the Texas Rangers (36-66) at 8:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mariners vs. Rangers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Mariners lead 7-3.

Seattle has yet to officially announce its starter but it is expected to be RHP Logan Gilbert. Gilbert is 4-2 with a 3.81 ERA (56 2/3 IP, 24 ER), 1.04 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 10.6 K/9 across 12 starts in his rookie season.

  • Last outing: No-decision with 2 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 1 BB and 5 K in Seattle’s 5-4 victory Saturday over the Oakland Athletics.
  • Gilbert earned a no-decision in Seattle’s 5-4 victory over Texas July 2 with a stat line of 5 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 2 BB and 6 K.

LHP Kolby Allard takes the hill for the Rangers. Allard is 2-8 with a 4.71 ERA (72 2/3 IP, 38 ER), 1.16 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 8.3 K/9 in 10 starts and 10 relief appearances.

  • Last outing: Loss, 7-3, with 4 IP, 7 ER, 7 H, 1 BB and 5 K at the Houston Astros July 23.
  • Allard is 0-1 this year against Seattle with a 3.86 ERA (7 IP, 3 ER), 4 H, 1 BB and 6 K in one start and one bullpen outing.
  • vs. Mariners on the current roster (41 plate appearances): 7.33 FIP with a .256 BA, .375 wOBA, .540 expected slugging percentage, 24.4 K% and 89.7 mph exit velocity.

  • Over/Under: 8 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Prediction

Mariners 4, Rangers 1

Money line (ML)

GIMME the MARINERS (-145) for 1 unit because I expect Gilbert to bounce back from his disappointing start against Oakland this past weekend.

Gilbert was the No. 14 overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft and the third-ranked prospect in Seattle’s loaded farm system. He’s faced a lot tougher lineups than Texas’s and has allowed 2 or fewer earned runs in eight starts this season.

Furthermore, the Rangers just traded the only All-Star in their lineup in Joey Gallo, and they’ve been abysmal following the All-Star Game.

Texas’s lineup has the only negative WAR in the majors in the second half and the Rangers are the only team with less than 10 home runs in the second half as well, with just 4.

There’s no question that Texas has the worst lineup in MLB at the moment and this is an absolute get-right spot for Gilbert, and for Seattle whose back-to-back losses to the Houston Astros this week snapped a four-game win streak.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Rangers have lost 16 of their previous 19 games and 15 of those losses were by at least 2 runs. Also, Seattle has covered its only game as a road favorite this season and Texas has the fifth-worst cover rate as a home dog at 17-18 ATS.

The wiser play is to just lay it with Seattle’s money line but I do not hate a light wager on the MARINERS -1.5 (+115).

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS with a slight “lean” to the Under 8 (-110) because the Rangers are 13-31-1 O/U as a home underdog this season and Seattle’s lineup ranks in the bottom-10 against left-handed pitching in wRC+, wOBA and BB/K.

Also, the Mariners haven’t officially named a starter so at the moment “Logan’s bounce-back effort against the Rangers” is based on him actually getting out there. That being said, Seattle’s bullpen ranks second in WAR.
