Who will win Rangers vs Mariners tonight: Rangers moneyline (+122)
The Seattle Mariners just can't get the offensive ball rolling. As part of their 8-13 start, the Mariners have scored two runs or fewer in eight of their losses.
That doesn't take the starting pitching staff off the hook, because they haven't totally been up to the task either. The starters own the eighth-worst ERA in baseball (3.35).
Texas Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi might have won his last start, but he's just 3-4 with a 5.27 ERA in 14 appearances against the M's. It's too bad Seattle isn't able to take advantage of that right now.
