Rangers vs. Mariners Prediction
BARTOLO projects the Rangers for 3.57 runs and the Mariners for 3.75 this afternoon, despite the market considering Texas a heavy underdog.
Much of that may be because Kade Anderson is starting for Seattle. However, as heralded a prospect as he is, the reality is the lefty has struggled in his first MLB outings, as one should expect.
Anderson has given up 15 hits and nine earned runs over 15 frames in his first three starts combined.
Also, Zerillo's lineup projections put the Rangers ahead in wRC+ with a 107 rating.
With this game in the afternoon, Cal Raleigh might get some rest after catching last night, which could hurt Seattle's offense given the former MVP candidate's recent surge.
The Rangers already took the first game of this series yesterday with a 10-5 victory.
At a great price, let's back Texas on the moneyline on Wednesday.
