Seattle Mariners
Ramirez is activated off of the DL and will be making his first start of the season against division rival Texas. He was dealing with a lat injury, so we’ll see how his mechanics fare.
Last year he posted a 4.39 ERA and 4.43 FIP as he played for the Tampa Bay Rays and the Seattle Mariners. He appeared in 37 outings, while starting 19 of them putting in 131.1 total innings of work. He posted a respectable walk-to-strike rate where he owned a 7.47 K/9 and 2.12 BB/9. The long ball tended to be his weakness owning a 1.51 HR/9.

Seattle has been sub-par in the last week going 3-4. Their bats have cooled off in that span only slashing .234/.275/.390 while hitting 20 extra-base hits and 22 RBI.
Texas Rangers
Perez was rocked by Tampa Bay in his last start collecting his second consecutive loss. He was only able to go four innings giving up seven earned off of 10 hits while striking out four and walking three. In his last two outings, Perez has given up 15 earned runs off of 19 hits in seven innings of work.
He now owns a walk-to-strikeout ratio of seven walks and seven strikeouts. His BABIP has been an unfortunately high sitting at .463, which has plagued his LOB% which currently sits at 57.3%. When you walk as many as you strike out, its hard to strand base runners, especially with a very unlucky BABIP, and the end result is a high 13.14 ERA and 8.17 FIP.

4* Free MLB Betting Pick: OVER the Total
Seattle has been owning lefties so far this season with a 5-1 record against them. Their bats have been crushing them as they are slashing .270/.347/.435. It’s a little risky backing Ramirez considering this will be his first start of the season, while its hard to imagine that he won’t give up a couple of runs. I expect runs to be scored in this outing and creep over the total.
