The Seattle Mariners will be looking to accomplish their unfulfilled promise from last season when they start their 2016 campaign against the Texas Rangers Monday. The M’s fared well against their AL West counterpart last year, with Seattle taking four of the final five against Texas while averaging nearly five runs per game.
- The UNDER is 8-3 in the Mariners last 11 games when visiting the Rangers.
- The Mariners lost their final five roads games to end last season.
- Cole Hamels went 4-0 with a 3.66 ERA in seven starts in Arlington last season.
Seattle will send ace Felix Hernandez to the mound on Monday who is coming off a down year, which still saw the righty post a 3.53 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. King Felix has been damn near unhittable on Sportsbook Day, as he is 6-0 with a 1.49 ERA in eight career starts to kickoff the Mariners’ season.
Cole Hamels will get the ball for the Rangers after posting a splendid 7-1 record with a 3.66 ERA after joining Texas in a midseason trade last year. However, Hamels has historically struggled kicking off the season with the hurler going 0-2 with an 8.10 ERA in his two Sportsbook Day starts for the Philadelphia Phillies.
