Both the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers are looking to make up ground in the AL wild-card race during their current four-game set. However, the set has proven to be more beneficial for the M’s who, after winning the second and third games, are 5-2 SU in their past seven against the Rangers.
- Andrew Cashner has held opposing batters to 2-for-49 with two outs and RISP this season.
- The total has gone OVER in 8 of the Rangers’ last 10 games after a loss.
- The Mariners are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games against teams with losing records.
Felix Hernandez makes his return to the Mariners rotation after a stint on the DL with shoulder bursitis. King Felix has not exactly looked like royalty this season, as he has the highest ERA since his first full season in the majors back in 2006. The biggest issue has been his inability to contain the long ball, with the righty allowing 2.0 HR/9 this year.
Andrew Cashner, who takes the bump for the Rangers, has quietly been one of the better pitchers in the AL recently. Cashner has a 2.76 ERA in 10 starts since the all-star break and has held opponents to two or fewer earned runs in seven of those outings.
