0:00It's April 7, I'm Cory with the story. This is MLB News Today, driven by AI and built for baseball fans. Tonight's matchup in Arlington pits the Seattle Mariners, sitting at four wins and seven losses against the Texas Rangers at five and five. The Mariners are looking to snap a three-game road skid, sending George Kirby to the mound with a one-in-one record and a solid 3.7. Five ERA, they'll face Nathaniel Valdi, who's 0-1-2 with a rough 11.42 ERA for Texas. Mariners are slight favorites at minus 120, with the over under at seven and a half runs. This is the second class between these teams this season, after Texas' edge, Seattle 2-1 last night on Jig Berger's key RBI double. Rangers are just one and three at home, but both they perfect five and zero mark when outfitting opponents. All squads have struggled lately, with Mariners going four and six over their last ten games, batting just 188, but pitching lights out. At 2.37 ERA, Rangers are five and five in that span, averaging 237 at the plate and a

1:053.34 team ERA. Key bats heating up include Texas' Brandon Nemo at 359, plus Berger's recent tier with two homers in ten games. For Seattle, Vernon Donovan's 10 for 31, with two dingers, while Randy Aeros Arena as doubles in the mix. Anjuries are biting both sides. Rangers missing arms like Cody Bradford and Jordan Montgomery, Mariners without Bryce Miller and others. Expect a tight one as Seattle pushes to even the series and give back on track under those Texas lights.
