Seattle heads to Texas to face their division rival in this game. Seattle is starting Luis Castillo who is off back to back shutout starts going 6 innings in both allowing 0 earned runs however they were two games against Pittsburgh and the Oakland Athletics who are last against right handed pitchers. Previous to that start Castillo allowed 12 earned runs over 3 starts.

Texas is starting Jon Gray in this game. He is 5-1 on the season and has allowed 2 or less earned runs in 7 of his 10 starts. Gray has allowed 3 earned runs total over his last 4 starts.

Texas is the 3rd against right handed pitchers and Seattle is 22nd. Texas is off a loss in their last game and a day off while Seattle is off a day off after a 1-0 extra inning win against the New York Yankees.

I like Texas to start this series off with a win against their divisional rival.

Pick: Texas Rangers ML
