Result: Win
Play: Over
Rating: 10*
The first three games of this series have seen plenty of runs, and I think that will be the case once again in the series-finale Thursday night.
Derek Holland (7-6, 4.57 ERA) takes the ball for the Rangers. He's allowed just a total of four runs through his last three starts, but the 29 year old's numbers against Seattle does not impress. He was reached for five runs on five hits with three homers in five innings of a 7-5 loss here at at Safeco on June 10, and the current Mariners are batting a combined .293 over 239 at bats against the southpaw.
We'll see Taijuan Walker (4-10, 4.60 ERA) on the bump for the Mariners, and he's been hit hard lately. The 24 year old right-hander has surrendered four runs or more in four of his last five starts, and he didn't even get out of the first inning when he was shelled for six runs (five earned) by the Halos his last time out. The Rangers have tagged him with seven runs on 14 hits and six walks in 11 innings this season, and the current roster is batting a combined .337 over 104 at bats against him.
Neither starting pitcher is known for going deep into the games, and the bullpens are taxed. Over is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings overall and 5-1 in the last six at Safeco.
