Total: 7.50 | 105.00 Under
Result: Win
There is plenty that points to this total going over.
The Rangers have scored the fifth most runs in the majors. They are facing rookie lefty Mike Montgomery, who is finding life difficult as he goes through the league a second time around.
Montgomery, a career minor leaguer, shocked people by going 4-2 with a 1.62 ERA during his first seven big league starts. Since then, though, he's gone 0-2 with a 5.81 ERA during his past five starts.
The over is 7-1-1 the past nine times the Rangers have gone against a southpaw starter.
Seattle is an underrated power team. Only five teams have slugged more homers than the Mariners. The over is 15-4-3 in Seattle's last 21 home contests.
The Mariners draw Martin Perez, who will be making his fifth start following Tommy John surgery. Pitchers usually are up and down in their first year back from elbow surgery and Perez has been no exception. He has a 7.04 ERA in his last three starts.
There is some bullpen fatigue with both teams. The weather forecast is for a slight wind to blow out to right field and the slated home plate umpire is Dale Scott, whose had 67 percent of his 18 games behind the plate this season go over the total.
