This is an 8* play on the Seattle Mariners.

The Seattle Mariners will try to end a five game losing streak at home in Game 3 of this series versus Texas, and they face a starting pitcher that makes just his second major league start in three years.

A.J. Griffin will toe the rubber for the Rangers today, and he was pretty average while earning a victory in his season debut. The 28 year old struck out just one batter, surrendering three runs on six hits and a pair of walks over six innings in a win over the Angels. He hasn't been as fortunate in previous meetings with Seattle, with a record of 1-2 with a 5.00 ERA.

The Mariners hand the ball to Taijuan Walker, who took a tough luck loss in his first start of 2016. The 23 year old right-hander allowed a pair of runs on seven hits, striking out four over six innings in a no decision versus Oakland. The Mariner won 14 of his final 18 starts last season, and he gave them a chance to win in his first start this season.

Take SEA.
