T.M. Selection: Mariners/Rangers UNDER.

I am on the under in the Seattle Mariners vs Texas Rangers game on Sunday. Neither of these teams have been involved in many low scoring affairs lately but I like the pitching matchup for both teams here and I expect this game to be a low scoring one as it turns into a pitcher's duel. Logan Gilbert (10-5, 3.47 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he has looked really good in his starts this year, becoming the Mariners ace this year with how well he has been pitching. He has 2 starts in August and both were really bad starts, giving up 6+ runs in both games, but both of those starts were also against the Yankees who have one of the best offense in the league. I expect Gilbert to bounce back with a much better performance against the Rangers here since their offense hasn't been good all year and they haven't been putting up many runs in a lot of their games lately either. He has also pitched very well against the Mariners this year, seeing them in 3 different starts and not giving up more than 1 run in either start. Martín Pérez (9-3, 2.85 ERA) is up for the Rangers here and he has also looked really good this year as he has been the ace for the Rangers this year. He is also coming off of a bad start where he gave up 7 runs, but again he was facing the Astros who have one of the best offenses in the league. He made 4 starts in a row right before that where he gave up no more than 1 run in each start and I expect him to bounce back here with the mariners offense not as hot as it was just a few weeks ago. He has also pitched well against the Mariners giving up no more than 2 runs in either of his 2 starts against them this year. I see both starters bouncing back here with better games and I see this being a low scoring game as the offense struggle to put up runs. I like the under in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Mariners.
