The Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners meet Tuesday in MLB action at T-Mobile Park. The Texas Rangers need a win after losing 3 of their last 4 games. The Seattle Mariners look for a win after losing 3 of their last 4 games.

The Texas Rangers have scored 15 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 2 of their last 4 games. The Rangers have won 6 of their last 10 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Marcus Semien leads the Rangers with 92 hits and 46 RBI, while Nathaniel Lowe and Adolis Garcia have combined for 180 hits and 98 RBI. Dane Dunning gets the ball, and he is 1-6 with a 4.42 ERA and 84 strikeouts this season. Dunning is 1-1 with a 3.94 ERA and 20 strikeouts in his career against the Mariners.

The Seattle Mariners have scored 10 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 2 of their last 4 games. The Mariners have won 10 of their last 11 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Ty France leads the Mariners with 103 hits and 51 RBI, while Julio Rodriguez and JP Crawford have combined for 180 hits and 78 RBI. George Kirby gets the ball, and he is 2-3 with a 3.78 ERA and 62 strikeouts this season. This will be Kirby’s second career game against the Rangers.

The Rangers are 53-110 in their last 163 road games and 2-6 in their last 8 overall. The Mariners are 4-0 in their last 4 Tuesday games and 22-6 in their last 28 overall. The over is 10-4 in Rangers last 14 overall. The under is 4-1 in Mariners last 5 overall. The Rangers are 16-35 in the last 51 meetings in Seattle.

The Texas Rangers continue to underachieve with a subpar pitching staff, and Dane Dunning has allowed 13 hits and 7 earned runs in his last 7.2 innings. George Kirby has allowed 13 hits and 3 runs in his last 11.1 innings, and the Seattle Mariners remain one of the hotter teams in the league. I have little interest in backing the Rangers. Give me the Mariners and the reasonable price.
