Rangers at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 4, Rangers 3

Moneyline

The MARINERS (-155) are a solid play as a moderate favorite in the 1st meeting this season against the Rangers (+125).

Texas has won just once in the last 5 games on the road, while going 1-4 in the last 5 series openers, too.

Seattle has posted 6 wins in the last 7 games overall, while going 5-1 in the last 6 inside the AL West. The Mariners are also 5-1 in the last 6 games against a right-handed starting pitcher, too.

Run line/Against the spread

The RANGERS +1.5 (-160) aren’t priced out of line if you’d like a little insurance on the road team.

Texas has won outright in the last 2 games as an underdog, while cashing on the run line in 5 in a row as a ‘dog.

Over/Under

The UNDER 7.5 (+100) is worth a look at even money.

While the Over has dominated lately for the Rangers, the Under is 11-5 in the past 16 games on the road against a right-handed starting pitcher.

For the Mariners, the Under is 4-1 in the last 5 series openers, while cashing at a 7-1 clip in the last 8 games when Seattle’s opponent scores 5 or more runs in their previous contest.

Rangers at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 5, Mariners 4

Money line

The Mariners have just fallen flat of late. Gray has been on a nice roll since returning from an oblique injury Sept. 11, and he may well be cranked up to 90 pitches or so in this spot.

TAKE TEXAS (+100).

Run line/Against the spread

This RL tag is fair, but with these offenses, more of a discount would be key to playing the visiting Rangers with some moderate confidence.

PASS, but back Texas +1.5 if the price reaches -200 or better.

Over/Under

With some fade lean on both bullpens and on Marco Gonzales, and with a Texas club at its best against southpaws (.755 OPS), take the OVER 7.5 (+110).

Texas Rangers at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

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

The Texas Rangers (66-87) and Seattle Mariners (83-70) meet Wednesday at 9:40 p.m. ET to put a lid on a 3-game AL West series at T-Mobile Park. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rangers vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Seattle leads 12-5

Texas had lost 3 straight games and 6 of its previous 8 before winning Tuesday’s opener 5-0. Earlier this year, across multiple series, Texas lost 9 in a row to Seattle. But with Tuesday’s win, the Rangers have now taken 3 in a row from the Mariners.

Seattle is just 3-8 in its last 11 games. Over that stretch, Mariners pitching has logged a lackluster 5.28 ERA. The club heads into Wednesday’s contest having allowed 5 or more runs in 5 straight games.

Rangers at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 5, Rangers 3

Money line

Seattle is the lean, but the price here is out of whack. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Texas faced lefty Robbie Ray in Game 1. The Rangers are much more dangerous against southpaws and are a bottom-10 group with their .680 OPS against righties.

The Mariners offense fell flat in Tuesday’s return home after a road trip and an off day. Look for a rebound with a rested bullpen — and a bullpen advantage — on Wednesday.

BACK SEATTLE -1.5 (+140).

Over/Under

With some fade lean into both bullpens and with Perez having some good fortune around the margins (and a higher expected ERA), there is a slight lean on the OVER 6.5 (-112).

Texas Rangers at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

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

The Texas Rangers (65-87) and Seattle Mariners (83-69) meet Monday at 9:40 p.m. ET to open a 3-game AL West series at T-Mobile Park. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rangers vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Seattle leads 12-4

Texas has lost 3 games in a row and 6 of its last 8. The Rangers offense has produced a mere .610 OPS over that stretch. Earlier in the season series, and across multiple series, Texas lost 9 in a row to the Mariners. However, the club enters Tuesday — after an off day — having won 2 in a row against Seattle (Aug. 13-14).

The Mariners are back at home — after a Monday off day — on the heels of a 3-7 road trip. Seattle is 15-12 at home in the 2nd half. Mariners hurlers have compiled a 2.99 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over those 27 games.

Rangers at Mariners projected starters

RHP Jesus Tinoco vs. LHP Robbie Ray

Tinoco (0-0, 1.72 ERA) owns 0.96 WHIP, 4.0 BB/9 and 7.5 K/9 through 15 2/3 IP across 13 games.

  • Expected to be the opener for a Texas bullpen game
  • Has only pitched in relief in 44 career MLB games
  • RHP Tyson Miller is expected to get bulk innings behind Tinoco; he has allowed 6 ER in 3 MLB innings this season and owns a Triple-A ERA of 4.52

Ray (12-10, 3.60 ERA) is tabbed for his 31st start of the season. He has a 1.16 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9 through 177 2/3 IP.

  • Has held current Texas batters to a whiff-laden .570 aggregate OPS
  • Owns a 2.59 ERA over his last 7 starts

Rangers at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 5, Rangers 3

Money line

Seattle is the lean but only an actionable play up to -200. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Texas is at its best against port-siders (.755 OPS), but Robbie Ray is on an exceptional roll and he’s held the Rangers in check in the past.

The Mariners offense has run hot-and-cold recently, but it has reeled in 6 or more runs in 3 of its last 4 games. The off day may help the Seattle bats: the club has had some big-production days after off days in the second half.

BACK SEATTLE -1.5 (+110).

Over/Under

With some fade lean into both bullpens, there is a slight lean on the OVER 7.5 (-105).

Rangers at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 6, Rangers 2

Money line

RISK 1 UNIT on the MARINERS (-160) instead of betting to win 1 unit because of the price.

The Mariners have been steamed from a -145 opener up to the current number according to Pregame.com. Also, Seattle has a 3-phase edge over the Rangers (+130) in starting and relief pitching and hitting.

Furthermore, the Mariners are 15-7 SU as home favorites vs. righty starters with a plus-13.8% return on investment (ROI) and an average final score of 4.25-3.27. The Rangers are 12-20 SU on the road vs. righty starters with a minus-20.5% ROI.

If your standard unit is $100 then “FLAT-BET” that on the MARINERS (-160) to earn a $62.50 profit instead of betting $160 to win $100.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Mariners -1.5 (+130) isn’t a big enough payout considering they are just 9-13 RL as home favorites vs. righty starters while the Rangers +1.5 (-160) are 18-14 RL on the road against right-handed starters.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 8.5 (-122).

T-Mobile Park is a historically pitcher-friendly venue, the Mariners are 20-27-1 O/U at home and the Rangers are 13-18-2 O/U as road underdogs.

Also, more than 90% of the money is on the Over 8.5 (+100) according to Pregame.com but the total hasn’t budged off the opener, in fact, the UNDER 8.5 (-122) is more expensive.

Texas Rangers at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

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

The Seattle Mariners (7-5) will go for the sweep against the Texas Rangers (2-9) when the AL West rivals square off Thursday at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. First pitch will be at 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rangers vs. Mariners nickname odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Mariners lead 2-0 after Wednesday’s 4-2 win.

The Rangers dropped their fifth straight game and fourth consecutive game scoring 3 or fewer runs. They have not allowed fewer than 4 runs in a game and their team ERA of 6.09 ranks last in MLB, though the offense is 12th in runs scored (53).

The Mariners pitching staff has been top-notch so far this season, ranking sixth in team ERA (2.86), second in quality starts (5) and seventh in batting average against (.209). They’ve won 3 straight games and 2 straight series against the Astros and Rangers. They’ve allowed exactly 2 runs in each of their last 3 games.

Rangers at Mariners: Projected starters

LHP Taylor Hearn vs. LHP Marco Gonzales

Hearn (0-1, 4.70 ERA) makes his 3rd start. He has a 2.09 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 11.7 K/9 through 7 2/3 IP.

  • Hasn’t pitched more than 4 innings in either start and though he has yet to allow a home run, he’s given up 14 hits in just 7 2/3 innings.
  • In 12 appearances (3 starts) against the Mariners, Hearn is 0-3 with a 6.20 ERA  and has 22 strikeouts in 24 2/3 innings.

Gonzales (1-1, 3.00 ERA) makes his 3rd start. He has a 1.33 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 7.0 K/9 in 9 IP.

  • Has 16 career starts against the Rangers, going 8-6 with a 3.73 ERA.
  • When pitching at home, Gonzales is 25-12 with a 3.82 ERA and a WHIP of 1.19.

Rangers at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 5, Rangers 2

Money line

It has not been a good start to the season for the Rangers, already 7 games under .500. The Mariners, on the other hand, are trending in the opposite direction thanks to their pitching.

I like the MARINERS (-140) to keep it rolling and win their fourth straight game and sixth in their last 7 games. And quite honestly, I’m surprised the line is only -140, given the way the Rangers have been playing.

Run line/Against the spread

Seattle is 8-4 ATS this season, including a 4-1 mark at home. They have the fourth-best run line record this season, while Texas is last at 3-8 ATS.

I can’t see the Rangers keeping Seattle’s offense in check enough win this game or even cover the spread. Bet the MARINERS -1.5 (+145) at plus money again, just like Wednesday night.

Over/Under

The Rangers are scoring runs, they just can’t limit the opposing offense. Wednesday’s game went Under the total of 7.5 runs, and that could be the case again Thursday.

Bet the UNDER 7.5 (+100) and hope that Hearn can go deeper into the game than he has this season.

Texas Rangers at Seattle Mariners odds, picks and predictions

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

The Seattle Mariners (6-5) host the Texas Rangers (2-8) Wednesday for the second game of this 3-game set. First pitch from T-Mobile Park will be 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rangers vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Mariners lead 1-0

The Mariners beat the Rangers 6-2 Tuesday behind a strong effort from Robbie Ray, who pitched 6 innings, allowing just 2 runs on 4 hits with 4 strikeouts. The bullpen gave up only 2 hits in 3 shutout innings to close the door on a struggling Rangers squad. Seattle 3B Eugenio Suarez hit his third home run of the season to give the Mariners a 3-0 lead in the first.

The Rangers have lost 4 in a row, the first 3 to the Los Angeles Angels. Only 1 of their 8 losses has been by fewer than 2 runs, and each of their last 4 games has been by at least 3 runs. Their team ERA is 6.24, which ranks last in MLB, as does their .287 batting average against.

Rangers at Mariners: Projected starters

RHP Dane Dunning vs. RHP Logan Gilbert

Dunning (0-0, 5.19 ERA) makes his third start. He has a 1.73 WHIP, 4.2 BB/9 and 11.4 K/9 in 8 2/3 IP.

Rangers at Mariners picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 6, Rangers 3

Money line

The Rangers have been one of the worst teams in baseball so far, dragged down by their pitching staff. Dunning can strike out a bunch of batters, but this Mariners lineup doesn’t go down on strikes very often (8th-fewest in MLB).

Even with the money line at -160, I like the MARINERS to win outright at home.

Run line/Against the spread

In each of the Rangers’ last 4 games, they’ve lost by at least 3 runs. Only one of their losses has been by 1 run this season, and both of their wins came with offensive outbursts (12 runs and 10 runs) to mask their poor pitching.

Against a starter and bullpen like Seattle’s, I don’t see the Rangers putting up many runs. Take the MARINERS -1.5 (+135) at plus money.

Over/Under

The Mariners offense has been hot in the last week, scoring at least 5 runs in 4 of their last 5 games, including 13 in their last 2 games. They put up 6 runs Tuesday against the Rangers and I can see them scoring a bunch of runs once again at home Wednesday.

I like the OVER 7.5 (-115) in this one.
