American League West rivals, the Texas Rangers and the Seattle Mariners, are set to begin a new series on Friday at Globe Life Field.
The Rangers are 1-4 in their last five games, losing thrice to the Oakland Athletics this week. Other than their 15-run explosion in Game 2, Texas batted poorly behind the plate in the other three games. This includes a 0-3 loss in the series finale vs the Oakland Athletics on Thursday.
The Mariners, on the other hand, have captured four wins in a row, all thanks to a more productive batting corps. In their last five assignments, Seattle has batted 8.6 runs per game on a staggering .299 batting average. The Mariners occupy the No.1 spot in the AL West with a 18-12 record, two games of their closest trailer, the 16-14 Astros, and three games ahead of the Rangers.

Our Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Mariners continue mastery over the Rangers, cover the spread.
I predict another comfortable win by the Mariners in Game 1 of their series against the Rangers. The Mariners' offense is flying, averaging almost 9 runs a game in their last five games. Bryan Woo (3.09 ERA) may not be the most impeccable hurler out of the Mariners' pitching staff, but he does stuff that puts his team in a winning position most of the time. Woo will duke it out with Rangers starter Jack Leiter (4.24 ERA), another serviceable pitcher whose stats are adversely compromised by the Rangers' mediocre offense. Seattle is 8-1 SU in its last 9 games against Texas and 8-4 against the spread in 12 road games this season. Our betting prediction for the Texas Rangers vs. Seattle Mariners: Mariners -1.5 Runs
