Bet On MLB Baseball - Red Hot Rangers Host Struggling Mariners
Maybe the addition of first-year team
president and former flame-throwing Hall
of Fame right-hander Nolan Ryan really
has helped the Texas Rangers, (18-20,
18-16-4 O/U) to get back on track after
recording just one winning sports betting
season, (2004) since the start of the
new millennium.
The Rangers
enter tonight’s online
betting matchup against the Seattle Mariners,
(14-24, 15-20-2 O/U) having won five
of their last six games and seven of
ten overall, including an convincing
3-1 mark the team posted in beating the
Mariners three straight times last week
after dropping the series opener.
While the
Rangers took an overwhelming 12-6 loss
on the chin from the Oakland A’s
on Sunday, their struggles this season
are nothing when compared to the Seattle
Mariners, predicted to be one of the
best teams in the American League this
season after recording a solid 88-74
record last season and acquiring overpowering
lefty Erik Bedard, (2-2, 1.99 ERA)
from the Baltimore Orioles in the offseason.

The Mariners
have dropped eight of their last ten
games in the BetUS Sportsbook though
they enter tonight’s matchup
coming off a 6-3 win over the Chicago
White Sox on Sunday.
Bedard will take the mound tonight looking
to bounce back from a tough loss he took
against the Rangers and starter Vicente
Padilla, (5-2, 3.02 ERA) last week despite
limiting Texas to just two runs on six
hits while striking out five batters
in seven innings.

"We have a good ballclub," Mariners
manager John McLaren said. "Things
haven't been going well, but I believe
in these guys. We need to keep them going
and get out of a hole."
The Rangers got some spectacular pitching
in their series against the Mariners
last week, including a fine performance
from Padilla who has won three consecutive
starts and shut the Mariners out last
week, allowing just two hits while striking
out eight in seven innings. The fire-balling
right-hander has posted a microscopic
0.42 ERA over his last three outings.
Here
is a look at tonight’s key
tends, followed by my analysis and MLB
Betting Picks.
The Mariners are 1-4 in their last 5
vs. American League West.
The Mariners are 0-4 in their last 4
games vs. a right-handed starter.
The Rangers
are 5-0 in Padilla’s
last 5 starts vs. American League West.
The Rangers
are 6-1 in Padilla’s
last 7 home starts vs. a team with a
losing record.
The Under is 6-0-2 in Mariners last
8 road games with the total set at 9.0-10.5.
The Under is 9-2-2 in Rangers last 13
games as a home underdog.
The Under is 9-3-1 in the last 13 meetings.
The Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings
in Texas.
The Rangers
are 5-2 in Padilla’s
last 7 starts vs. Mariners.
Analysis: I know the Mariners and Bedard
lost to the Rangers and Padilla just
last week despite being at home, but
I say Seattle gets some revenge in this
game while picking up their second consecutive
win. Take Bedard to shut the Rangers
down while getting just enough run support
to actually win this contest.
