Seattle has lost four of its last five games. The Rangers are hitting .279 with a .858 OPS against righties on the road in September. Seattle is hitting .230 with a .680 OPS over their last seven days. Jordan Montgomery has allowed three earned runs, or less, in eight of his 10 starts since being acquired by the Rangers. Seattle’s Logan Gilbert lost his two home starts allowing a combined eight earned runs.

Lefty Jordan Montgomery owns a 2.92 ERA in 10 starts with the Rangers, who have won seven of eight entering this critical series. Last Saturday, Montgomery tossed seven scoreless innings in a 2-0 win over the Mariners. Seattle starter Logan Gilbert has been playing with fire lately, allowing a 53 percent hard-hit rate since the All-Star Break. Look for the Mariners to lose for the sixth time in seven games.
