Texas Rangers (36-66) vs Seattle Mariners (54-48)

I think the books got this line all wrong if I’m being completely honest. The Mariners have gone 4-3 in their last 7 games, but those games came against two of the AL West’s best in Houston and Oakland, and even at home those are tough games. Texas has lost 11 of 12 since the all-star break and now send Kolby Allard to the bump. The Rangers have lost Allard’s last six starts and are 1-9 in Allard’s 10 starts this season. In his last 5 starts, Allard himself is 0-5, allowing 23 runs 20 earned, in 27.1 innings of work for a 6.59 ERA. Logan Gilbert goes for the Mariners here and the Mariners have won his last ten starts and even with two of those outings going less than three innings, the numbers are still rock solid for Gilbert and getting the Mariners at such a cheap price is an absolute gift here. Give me the Mariners on the ML here.
