MLB Betting Trends
Texas
The Rangers are just 3-7 in their last 10 road games and 7-19 in their last 26 games following a win. They have also lost Moore’s last four divisional starts.
Seattle
The Mariners have won seven of their last eight at home and nine of their last 11 overall. Seattle also has won seven of Paxton’s last nine starts.
Prediction:
The Mariners should be able to bounce back tonight. Paxton has been very strong on the mound and he allows limited baserunners. Moore has been a disaster this season for Texas. He is allowing two baserunners per game while allowing nearly 8 runs per nine innings. Seattle should be able to win, and win big.
The Pick: Seattle Mariners -1.5 (-135)
