The Mariners are a bad team with a solid pitcher on the mound with Felix Hernandez getting the start, but their track record on the road shows just 30-49 for the season. Hernandez is also not pitching well over his last two starts allowing 9 runs in just 12 innings of work. The Rangers have had his number all season long as they are a perfect 3-0 against him. Alexi Ogando has certainly matched what Hernandez has done by logging a 13-8 mark with a 3.57 ERA on the season. So while the pitching matchup is pretty even, all the rest of the elements here belong to Texas, so at even odds that is plenty of value. The M's are just 4-9 in Hernandez' last 13 starts vs. a winning team and a putrid 8-23 in their last 31 vs. a right-hand starter. Texas gets the call.
