Seattle Mariners vs Texas Rangers Prediction: Mariners to win this opening game

The Seattle Mariners will play the Texas Rangers in the Major League at T-Mobile Park. This will be the opener of a four-game series. Which side takes the lead on this one?

Seattle Mariners

The Seattle Mariners are coming off a quick two-game series against the San Diego Padres and secured a split win. In the first game, this team lost by four runs in a 3-7 encounter. However, this team secured a revenge win in the second game, which ended 5-2, making it their fifth win in seven matches. However, the Seattle Mariners record read 74-72 this season and are seated 8th in the American League. 

Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers are coming off a quick two-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks and suffered a defeat. This team failed to score a single run in the first game and lost 6-0. However, despite scoring four runs in game 2, they conceded 14. Yet, it is worth noting they secured wins in prior series to their last, having a split win against the Los Angeles Angels while defeating the New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics, and Chicago White Sox.
