Texas Rangers (49-63) vs Seattle Mariners (62-52)

I think the Rangers get to Marco Gonzales early here, just as they already have this season. The Rangers have faced Gonzales plenty of times in 2022 with over 24 innings pitched for the lefty and when a pitcher faces a lineup over and over, I give the advantage to the lineup. The Rangers hit lefties very well, especially at home, and I think we see Texas jump out to an early lead. Dane Dunning pitches far better at home than on the road and the Mariners' bats against RHP are ranked 23rd in team OPS in the last month. Give me the Rangers through the first five innings, as I do not trust this Rangers' bullpen in the latter innings of this one.
