Prediction for Texas Rangers vs Seattle Mariners

We get a slightly cheaper price from the Mariners, the team that is still playing for something. Jacob deGrom is making just his second start of the season, so who knows what to expect. Plus, George Kirby has dominated the Rangers in his career, including a 6-0 record and a 0.92 ERA in 48.2 innings. I'm happy to take the Mariners at that price because they are fighting for their wild card lives and need this game.
