T.M. Selection: Mariners (10* MONEY-MAKER).

The Seattle Mariners have a worse record than the Texas Rangers, but I think they should in fact be the ones favored here. Texas is terrible right now, having lost five straight. The Rangers are in a transition mode right now , as they make some major roster moves, including putting outfielder Willie Calhoun and shortstop Elvis Andrus on the 10-day injured list. Kolby Allard is 0-1 with 5.25 ERA for Texas, while Nick Margevicius is 0-1 with a 3.14 ERA for the Mariners this year, coming off a hard-luck loss to the Astros after holding them to two runs over six frames.

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Mariners.
