THis is a 10* on SEATTLE

These two AL West also-rans have already met seven times on the field this season. The Mariners won the last four, all of which have been played here in Seattle. They swept a weekend series two weeks ago, then took last night’s opener by a score of 6-3. Sad to report Rangers fans that the misery is likely to continue tonight. Kyle Gibson is on the mound and Texas is just 1-6 when he starts including 0-3 the last three. In those last three starts, Gibson has a 9.37 ERA. He’s given up five or more runs every start, 17 total, and allowed six home runs. Seattle has won three in a row now, and given up only five runs in the process. Sheffield pitched once before against the Rangers and he held them to one run in six innings as the Mariners ultimately prevailed 10-1. The Rangers’ run differential is really bad (-65) as only the Red Sox are worse. Play on SEATTLE
