Texas Rangers
Texas opens up its series in Seattle third in the American League West and only in the most generous of assessments, on the fringe of the Wild Card race.
Baseball-Reference.com has Texas’ playoff chances at 2.2 percent, going into Monday night’s game.
The Rangers will likely be quiet at the Trade Deadline after opening the checkbook to sign Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, and Jon Gray in the offseason.
However, top tier contenders may be interested in two veteran arms that have performed well under the radar this season.
Martin Perez made his first All-Star Team at age 31 and he’s set to be a free-agent at the end of the season.
He would make an excellent addition for a team in need of pitching, not only because he’s a lefty, but because he’s got experience pitching as a starter, as a reliever, and in the postseason.
Matt Moore made the All-Star team in 2013 at the age of 24. Then he fell off the map before returning this year to have a season that looks like nothing less than an outlier on his player page.
In 33 appearances (44 innings) out of the bullpen this year, Moore has pitched to a 247 ERA+.
He has transformed himself from a starter to a short-relief specialist that any team would covet in October.
Texas will take calls for either one but it should be noted that both are in their second stint with the Rangers and seem to enjoy Texas, especially Perez, who exclusively spent the first seven seasons of his big league career there.
If the Rangers figure they can re-sign either guy next season, they will want to think hard about accepting an offer.
Seattle Mariners
Seattle has better than a 70 percent chance of getting into the playoffs for the first time since 2001, despite losing its first three coming out of the break.
The Mariners dropped three in a row to Houston over the weekend and are suddenly facing a potential crisis in the outfield.
Julio Rodriguez hasn’t played since the All-Star Game with a sore wrist. Jesse Winker turned his ankle on Sunday and may not be ready to play in this series.
Neither guy is on the Injured List and, fortunately for Seattle, both injuries seem to be short-term. But until both guys actually return to the field, the Mariners will be replacing two of their best players with, well, replacement-level talent.
Perhaps the pitching will pick up the slack in this series. George Kirby, the fresh-faced rookie out of Rye, New York, has an average ERA at 3.78 but he’s been a bit better than that when you look closer.
He gave up 16 runs in his three worst starts of the first half — both of this season and his big league career.
He’s only given up 11 in the other nine, combined, including three in his last two starts on July 2 and 8.
He gave up two runs (two solo shots) in six innings against the Rangers in June.
