Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers will host the Seattle Mariners for a pivotal matchup on June 27, 2025, at Globe Life Field. Both teams are hovering around the .500 mark, with the Rangers holding a record of 40-41 and the Mariners at 41-39. This matchup comes on the heels of an impressive performance by the Mariners’ pitching staff, who recently notched a complete game shutout, showcasing their ability to dominate on the mound.

Nathan Eovaldi is projected to take the hill for the Rangers, and while he ranks as the 41st best starting pitcher according to advanced metrics, his 1.56 ERA this season suggests he has been fortunate. However, his projections indicate he may struggle today, with an average of only 4.0 innings pitched and 1.6 earned runs allowed. Eovaldi’s recent outings have shown inconsistency, raising questions about his ability to contain a strong Mariners offense.

On the other side, Logan Gilbert, ranking 21st among starters, has been effective with a solid 3.12 ERA and a low xFIP of 1.83. He projects to pitch 6.0 innings and allow 2.5 earned runs, which bodes well for the Mariners. Gilbert’s ability to limit walks against a Rangers offense that ranks 28th in MLB suggests he could navigate their lineup effectively.

The Rangers’ offense is struggling, ranking 28th in overall production and 27th in batting average. In contrast, the Mariners rank 7th in offensive efficiency, bolstered by their recent strong performances. Betting markets have set a low game total of 7.5 runs, reflecting the expectation of a tightly contested affair. With both teams aiming to gain ground in the competitive American League West, this matchup holds significant implications for their respective seasons.

Seattle Mariners Insights

• Logan Gilbert – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)
  With 6 batters of opposing handedness in the opposing team’s projected offense, Logan Gilbert faces a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s game.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Luke Raley – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-145/+110)
  Luke Raley is projected to hit 6th in the batting order in this game, which would be a downgrade from his 72% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• Seattle Mariners – 2H Moneyline
  The Seattle Mariners bullpen profiles as the 2nd-best in the game, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.

Texas Rangers Insights

• Texas Rangers – Moneyline (-110)
  Among all the teams in action today, the strongest infield defense is that of the the Texas Rangers.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Corey Seager – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-150)
  Corey Seager may have an edge against every reliever for the duration of the game, since the bullpen of the Seattle Mariners only has 1 same-handed RP.
  Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
• Josh Jung – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)
  Josh Jung hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (40.1% — 98th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards the game’s 7th-deepest CF fences today.
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
