Josh Sborz will be the opener for the Rangers in a bullpen game for them. Taylor Hearn could end up pitching bulk relief but he has really struggled this season. The Rangers bullpen is also ranked 18th in the league in the past 30 days. George Kirby has already pitched well against the Rangers twice this season and he hasn’t allowed more than two runs in his last five starts. The Mariners have absolutely dominated the Rangers this season going 11-2 against them including 6-1 on the road. I like the Mariners on the road.

Mariners superstar rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez, the clear AL ROY favorite, will return from the injured list and fellow outfielder Jesse Winker, who hasn't played since Monday, is likely to be back. M's rookie pitcher George Kirby has a 2.90 ERA on the road this season and 1.64 ERA in 11 innings against the Rangers. Texas is going with an opener in Josh Sborz (5.87 ERA) followed by Taylor Hearn (5.14 ERA). The Rangers also had to play yesterday and the Mariners didn't. Texas is 2-9 in its past 11 at home.
