The Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners continue their AL West rivalry Wednesday with the OVER looking mighty tempting. The Rangers and Mariners have topped the closing total in six of their past seven contests while the two clubs have averaged a combined 10.1 runs per game in that span.
- A.J. Griffin is 19-0 when getting four runs or more of offensive support.
- The Mariners have lost five straight while averaging just 1.4 rpg.
- Rougned Odor is 5-for-8 with one home run and two RBI’s lifetime against Griffin.
A.J. Griffin will get the start for the Rangers following a solid performance in his first outing that saw him go six innings strong while surrendering three runs. This will just be Griffin’s second start in the majors since 2013 as he missed most of that year due to Tommy John surgery and only had four minor league appearances last season.
The Mariners will counter with Taijuan Walker who has not historically fared well against the Rangers. The aggressive pitcher has posted a career ERA of 4.15 against the Rangers while allowing them to hit a collective .318.
