Mariners vs Rangers: Tight Matchup

It's April 6th, I'm Cory with the story. This is MLB News Today, driven by AI and built

for baseball fans. Seattle Mariners sitting at 4 and 6th head to Arlington to face the

Texas Rangers who are 4 and 5. Game time is 8.05 pm Eastern on Monday. Logan Gilbert

starts for Seattle, 0 and 1 with a 6.75 ERA and 13 strikeouts. Texas counters with Jacob

DeGrom, 0 and 0, 5.79 ERA, 7 strikeouts so far. Rangers are slight favorites at minus

119 on BIT MGM, over under set at 7 and a half runs. They're hungry to end a three-game

skid right there at home. Last season, Texas won 81 and 81 overall, dominating at home

with 48 wins and 33 losses. They slug 0.381 as a team, averaging 1.1 homers per game. Mariners

finished stronger at 90 and 72, but struggled on the road at 39 and 42, scoring 4.7 runs

while, allowing 4.3. Injuries are hitting both sides hard. Texas misses Carter Bomler,

with ribs on the 15-day I.L., Cody Freeman back on 10-day, pictures Cody Bradford and

Jordan Montgomery with elbows. Seattle has Brendan Donovan day-to-day with a leg issue,

as Carlos Vargas-Lad, Miles Masterbony-Calf, Bryce Miller-Obleek, and Logan Evans-Armall,

on IO. This matchup shapes up tight with those arms dealing, but watch for Texas to rally

at home or Seattle's bats to click on the road.
