The Rangers have the worst record in the American League at 2-9 and they've lost their last five games while the Mariners are 5-1 in their last six. Taylor Hearn couldn't get out of the fourth inning against the Angels last Saturday, giving up three earned runs on six hits and he has a 4.70 ERA and 2.22 WHIP in two starts this season. Hearn is 0-3 with a 6.20 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 12 career appearances (three starts) against the Mariners.
The projected Rangers lineup has six batters with a strikeout rate above 21 percent and Marco Gonzales looked good in his last start, holding the Astros to one earned run on four hits with six strikeouts and zero walks over seven innings in an 11-1 win on Friday and he has a 3.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in two starts this season. The Rangers are 2-18 in their last 20 games in Seattle, losing their last seven games there. I'll ride this trend until it runs out of fuel.
