Texas Rangers at Seattle Mariners Preview & Picks

Seattle are tipped to follow up last night's win over Texas with another.

The Mariners have beat up on Rangers starter Jack Leiter in recent times, and his form on the road suggests that trend is likely to continue here.

  • Seattle Mariners are 8-2 in meetings with Texas this season
  • Texas pitcher Jack Leiter has given up 7 runs in his last 2 starts against Seattle
  • Rangers starter Jack Leiter has allowed 8 runs in his previous 3 starts on the road
  • The Over cashed in Jack Leiter's 2 previous starts against Seattle this season

Head To Head

  • Seattle Mariners lead the all-time series 388-370
  • Seattle Mariners won 6-0 when the two teams last met on July 31

Texas Rangers Form

Texas travelled to the Pacific Northwest on a good run of form, having won 10 of their previous 13 matchups.

The Rangers began this sequence with a 5-1 win in Houston, which was followed up by 2-0 and 4-1 victories at home to Detroit.

They failed to complete a series sweep of the Tigers as they lost the last meeting 2-1, but they did hit back quickly to win their next six games at home.

Texas swept the Athletics with 7-2, 6-2 and 2-1 wins, and then repeated that feat against Atlanta as they ran out 8-3, 6-5 and 8-1 winners

The Rangers’ surge was ended by 6-4 and 8-5 losses at the Los Angeles Angels, but they did avoid being swept as they wrapped up that series with a 6-3 victory.

Seattle Mariners Form

Seattle came into this series on the back of a couple of losses, and having won just four of their previous 11 games.

The Mariners went on a four-game win streak in the middle of July, but cooled off when they suffered an 11-3 defeat to Houston and a 6-0 loss to Milwaukee.

They avenged that defeat to the Brewers with a 1-0 win, only to then lose the final game of that series 10-2.

Seattle went out on the road after that and enjoyed a productive series against the Angels as they won 4-2 and 4-1 either side of a 3-2 defeat.

The Mariners then won the series opener against the Athletics, 3-1, only to lose the next two meetings 6-1 and 5-4.

Verdict

Seattle have had Texas' number all season long, and that is unlikely to change tonight.

Jack Leiter has been struggling on the road and has had a couple of rough outings against the Mariners already this season, so we are backing the hosts.
