Texas at Seattle

The Texas Rangers’ powerful lineup was handcuffed last night as Felix Hernandez handed them a 6-1 defeat. After opening the season in grandiose style at 15-5, the Rangers have lost their way and have become a mediocre team over an elongated period. They are now 11-13 over their last 24 games. The Mariners are on fire, winning four straight times, and have pounded opponents to a combined score of 26-8 in the four-game stretch. Harrison has fallen off sharply with the Rangers now just 1-4 in his last five starts. The M's are in the zone right now, and have taken four straight as a home dog of +110 to +150, and are catching the Rangers at the right time. Play on Seattle.
