Gray earned the win against the Marlins on Thursday by allowing four hits and two walks while striking out five. He is 1-1 with an ERA of 3.86 and 14 strikeouts in 3 appearances against the Mariners in his career.

BETTING TRENDS

Texas Rangers are 3-10 SU in their last 13 games on the road.

Texas Rangers are 3-19 SU in their last 22 games when playing on the road against Seattle.

Seattle Mariners are 11-4 SU in their last 15 games at home.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Seattle's last 8 games against an opponent in the American League.

Prediction

The Mariners beat the Rangers again in another close game so they're now 10-2 against the Rangers this season. Marcos Gonzales will start for the Mariners who has been pounded lately in his last 2 starts including allowing 5 runs agianst the Rangers. The Rangers will send Jon Gray to the mound who has been sharp lately and hasn't allowed a run in his last 13 innings pitched but allowed 4 runs the last time he faced the Mariners. With the late struggles from Gonzales and given how these last 2 games have been I think I'll side with the Rangers on this one.

PICK: Rangers ML (-120)
