Seattle at Texas

Seattle has lost two in a row as its pitching suddenly has gone south with the Mariners allowing 27 runs their last three games. They travel to Texas for this one and will face Kolby Allard in tonight's matchup. He has pitched much better at home where he owns a 3.60 ERA in 40 innings with 10 games overall and five as a starter. Allard has a .204 opponent batting average at home, and he faced the Mariners once this season and gave up three runs on four hits in seven innings. Seattle traded its closer Kendall Graveman, and then acquired former Rays closer Diego Castillo, but he might not be available for tonight's game. The Mariners have lost seven of 10 versus .400 or below teams. Take the Rangers.
