Mariners vs Rangers
Underdog thunder rolling toward Arlington

Mariners (19-12) VS Rangers (16-17)
May 04, 2025 | 2:35 p.m. ET | Globe Life Field

Seattle rolls into this AL West matchup on a six-game win streak, while Texas has stumbled a bit and remains without key rotation anchors still on the mend. With their rookie starter stepping in after a strong start against Miami and the bullpen well-rested, the Mariners are in a good spot to capitalize—especially with Texas leaning on a starter taking the mound on short rest. Seattle’s lineup has had past success in this matchup, and the Rangers' bullpen remains shaky amid injury concerns.
As a road dog, the value definitely tilts toward Seattle here. The payout is solid, and with their pitching lined up well and Texas scrambling a bit on both ends, it’s worth a B+ lean. Not without some risk—Castillo hasn’t always been lights-out on the road—but the numbers and momentum give the edge to the visitors.

Seattle enters with a six-game win streak and sends out its ace, who’s handled Texas well in recent meetings, against a lineup missing a couple of key bats. Texas, meanwhile, turns to a reliable arm with solid road numbers, and the matchup on paper suggests both starters could keep things moving quickly. Even with some pop in both lineups, the park conditions and rested bullpens suggest extra-base hits might be harder to come by in this matinee.
Honestly, it sets up like one of those games where both pitchers trade zeroes deep into the afternoon. The total at eight feels just a touch high considering the current form of both starters and the slightly pitcher-friendly weather. This one has all the makings of a tight, efficient duel—so the Under looks like a sneaky good play here.

Seattle rolls into Arlington on a six-game win streak, while Texas continues to stumble with four straight losses and lingering injuries to both the rotation and the lineup. With a rested rookie taking the hill and the bullpen in strong form, the Mariners are well-positioned to keep things tight against a Rangers team leaning heavily on their starters once again. Seattle’s top bats are locked in, and their ability to manufacture late-inning runs has been the difference in close games all year.
Taking the +1.5 run line here feels like the smart play—Seattle’s playing cleaner baseball, and even if Texas’s stars make some noise, the visitors have shown they can hang around and capitalize late. You’re paying a bit in juice, but the margin for error is worth it in a game that could easily be decided by a single swing.
