Ty France leads the Mariners with 70 hits and 36 RBI, while Julio Rodriguez and JP Crawford have combined for 103 hits and 37 RBI. Logan Gilbert gets the ball, and he is 5-2 with a 2.29 ERA and 60 strikeouts this season. Gilbert is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA and 21 strikeouts in his career against the Rangers.

The Texas Rangers have scored 7 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 6 of their last 9 games. The Rangers have won 9 of their last 10 games when scoring 4 or more runs.

Logan Gilbert has been solid all season long, and that includes allowing 28 hits and 14 earned runs in his last 36.2 innings while striking out 38. Dane Dunning has allowed 29 hits and 15 earned runs in his last 28.1 innings. The Seattle Mariners have the clear pitching edge in this spot, and their offense is hot entering this series. I’ll take a stab with the M’s on the road, but they’ve underachieved a lot up to this point, so I’m not thrilled with it.
