American League West Division rivals meet up again on Saturday when the Seattle Mariners visit the Texas Rangers. Seattle won the series opener 7-6, and they are now trying to win the series outright.
The Mariners come into this game with a 42-39 record, while the Rangers are now sitting at 40-42 on the year. Here is a look at the odds for Game 2, and predictions regarding how the game will play out.
Mariners vs. Rangers prediction


Cal Raleigh of the Seatlle Mariners has been a superstar so far this season, belting 32 home runs and driving in 69 runs. The rest of the Mariners team has been inconsistent on offense, but their biggest star is setting the tone.
Bryan Woo is going to start for the Mariners on Saturday, and he has pitched extremely well this season. Woo has gone 7-4 with a 3.12 ERA, and he should have another great start in this matchup.
The Rangers will have young Kumar Rocker taking the ball in Game 2 of the series, and he is 3-4 with a 6.68 ERA this season. Rocker has shown flashes of being great, but he needs to find consistency.
Texas needs a big day from the offense in Game 2, and they are capable of getting that done. Look for the Rangers to find just enough offense to even up the series with a win.
