The Seattle Mariners have been scoring runs in bunches lately and will look to keep those gaudy offensive numbers going against the Texas Rangers on Thursday.
- The Mariners are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games after a win.
- The Rangers are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games against teams with winning records.
- The total has gone OVER in the Rangers' last 7 games with a closing total of 8.5 or more.
Derek Holland and Taijuan Walker will get the nod for the Rangers and M’s, respectively. Holland has a 2.00 ERA in three starts since returning from a two-month absence due to a shoulder injury. The veteran is 12-5 with a 3.56 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 24 career apperances against the Mariners.
Walker (4-10, 4.60) is 0-4 with a 9.55 ERA over his last five starts and has given up 23 home runs in just 103 2/3 innings of work this year. Yikes.
The Mariners are going above totals with ease of late. In Seattle's last nine tilts, the OVER is 8-1.
