The Seattle Mariners (42-39) are set to take on the Texas Rangers (40-42) on Saturday for the second game of their three-game series. The matchup at Globe Life Field is scheduled to begin at 1:05 p.m. PST.
In the season series, the Mariners hold the advantage with a 6-1 record against the Rangers.
In the opening game of the series, the Mariners came out on top with a close 7-6 victory on Friday, overcoming a two-game losing streak.
They ended up as a -113 moneyline favorite, with Jorge Polanco contributing significantly by driving in 2 runs as Seattle scored twice in the top of the 12th inning to secure the win.
Over their last six games, the Mariners have managed to go 4-2. On the other hand, the Rangers saw their two-game winning streak end with Friday’s loss.
They have faced difficulties against the Mariners this season, claiming only one victory in three home games. While Texas has a 4-3 record over its past seven games, it is currently on a four-game losing streak at home.
Pitching Matchup
Bryan Woo (7-4, 3.12 ERA) makes his 16th start, boasting a 0.96 WHIP, 1.4 BB/9, and 8.2 K/9 over 95 1/3 innings. In his last outing, he won against the Minnesota Twins, allowing two earned runs over six innings with nine strikeouts.
For the season, he’s 4-3 with a 3.83 ERA in 9 away starts and has a 2-2 career record against the Rangers with a 5.40 ERA.
Kumar Rocker (3-4, 6.68 ERA) is making his 9th start, holding a 1.66 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9, and 8.3 K/9 through 33 2/3 innings. He earned a win in his last game against the Pirates, allowing two earned runs in 5 1/3 innings.
This season, he’s 2-0 at home with a 2.12 ERA. However, he’s 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA against the Mariners in his career, including a 9-2 loss in Seattle on April 12.
Woo has faced the Rangers twice this season, and the Mariners won both matchups by a combined score of 22-3.
Overall, Seattle has a 9-6 record in games he has started this year. The Mariners have also fared well recently, going 5-3 in their last eight road games.
On the other hand, the Rangers have had a tough stretch in their last five games, with a record of 2-3.
They’ve struggled defensively, allowing five or more runs in 4 of those contests and 23 runs in their last four home games. Given these trends, I recommend backing the Mariners in this one.
