The Seattle Mariners have finally swam above water and are two games over .500 for the second time in the MLB campaign. They’ll look to complete a three-game sweep of the host Texas Rangers today, where sportsbooks opened the Rangers as -115 home favorites with a total of 11.
- The Mariners are 3-8 SU in their last 11 games on the road against the Rangers.
- The total has gone UNDER in five of the Rangers’ last seven games at home with Andrew Cashner as the starting pitcher.
- The Rangers are 1-5 SU and ATS in their last six games when closing out a series.
Ariel Miranda and Andrew Cashner are expected to get the start for the M’s and Rangers, respectively. Miranda (7-4, 4.31 ERA) has hit a bit of a wall lately, going four starts without a decision despite striking out a career-high 10 in six innings of work against the New York Mets in his last appearance. The 28-year-old has only faced Texas once in his career, when he allowed three unearned runs and three hits in a six-inning effort against the Rangers last season.
Cashner (6-8, 3.48) has won back-to-back starts and three of his last four. The hurler is 0-1 with a 3.18 ERA in two appearances against Seattle this season and 0-3 with a 3.58 ERA in six career turns against them.
The OVER is red-hot when these teams collide in Texas. In the last 13 between the Mariners and Rangers in the Lone Star State, the OVER is 10-3.
