Seattle Mariners
This Mariners team has seriously surprised a lot of people. Nobody had them playing as well as they have.
The division they play in is very tough. Even with a 56-48 record, they find themselves in 3rd place of the American League West. The Astros lead them by 8 games. Seattle is in contention to earn a wild card spot.

Logan Gilbert went 5.2 innings and allowed 4 earned runs on Friday.
At this point there has not been a starter named for the game on Sunday.

They are last in the American League West with a record of 36-67. The Astros lead them by 27.5 games.
Texas split a 2 game set with the Diamondbacks this week. In that series, the Rangers scored 7 runs and allowed 7 runs.

Pitching has been a major issue for this team. The team owns an ERA of 4.75 which is 24th best in baseball.

Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers MLB Prediction:
The Rangers are a team that the Mariners needs to take care of. They did so on Friday and I look for them to complete the sweep on Sunday.
Seattle is the better team and so far they have showed that when facing the Rangers this year. I also have very little confidence backing the Rangers here.
I expect Seattle to hit around Mike Foltynewicz enough to get a win.
I am going with the Rangers on the moneyline in this one.
