Play: Over
Rating: 8*

The Seattle Mariners rolled to a 14-6 victory in the series opener yesterday. I think we'll see another high-scoring contest tonight.

Two left-handers will take the mound in James Paxton (4-5, 3.83) and Martin Perez (9-10, 4.30 ERA). Paxton is 1-1 with a 3.77 ERA in six career starts against Texas and he's had trouble with a nail on his left middle finger, affecting his pitching. He conceded four sun on eight hits in five innings against the Rangers his last start. Perez is an unreliable pitcher and he had been tagged with six runs in back-to-back starts before shutting out Seattle in a 14-1 rout his last time out. Time for the Mariners' bats to execute revenge tonight!

Over is 5-0 in the last five head-to-head meetings.
