T.M. Selection: Texas Rangers +1.5.

I like the Texas Rangers on the runline in this game against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. The Rangers have lost 5 games in a row now and they are already down 2 games in this series but I don't think they are going to get swept here and I expect them to win this game or at least cover the runline. The Rangers only lost their most recent game by 2 runs and in both games against the Mariners they were hitting the ball well with only 1 less hit than the Mariners had in both games they just couldn't covert the runners into runs. I think they will have a better time scoring runs in this game with Marco Gonzales (1-1, 3.00 ERA) up for the Mariners here. He is just had a very good start in his most recent game only giving up 1 run through 7 innings but his 1st start was terrible and he barely made it out of the 2nd inning in that game as 6 runs were given up thanks to him. The Rangers have had no issues with hitting the ball lately and I think they will get plenty of hits on him here and put up a lot of runs. The Rangers have Taylor Hearn (0-1, 4.70 ERA) going up in this game and he has already had 2 bad starts this year where his team lost both games and he was even credited with a loss. He gave up 3 runs and 6 hits in his most recent start and I expect him to give up a ton in this game too. I don't think the Rangers are going to get swept here the way they have been hitting the ball lately. I like the Rangers on the runline here +1.5.

T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Rangers.
