Texas Rangers

On June 27, 2025, the Texas Rangers will host the Seattle Mariners at Globe Life Field in an intriguing American League West matchup. The Rangers, currently sitting at 40-41, are in a tight race with the Mariners, who hold a slightly better record at 41-39. Both teams have been primarily average this season, but the Rangers recently enjoyed a strong performance, winning their last game 7-0 against the New York Yankees. In contrast, the Mariners struggled in their last outing, suffering a lopsided defeat, losing 10-1 to the Chicago White Sox.

Texas is projected to start Nathan Eovaldi, who has been solid this season with a 1.56 ERA and ranks as the 38th best starting pitcher in MLB. However, the projections suggest he may experience a decline in performance moving forward due to a higher xFIP of 2.68. Eovaldi’s last start on May 27 was abbreviated, only lasting 2 innings, but he managed to throw 0 earned runs with 2 strikeouts.

The Mariners are expected to counter with Logan Gilbert, who has impressed this season. With a 3.12 ERA, he ranks 18th among starting pitchers and is projected to pitch 6.1 innings today—an encouraging sign for Seattle. His recent outing saw him allow 4 earned runs over 5 innings, but projections indicate he might perform better going forward.

Offensively, the Rangers rank a dismal 27th in MLB this season, particularly struggling in power categories. In contrast, the Mariners boast the 9th best offense, led by a standout hitter with 32 home runs and a .275 batting average. This disparity could be a significant factor in the game, as the Rangers are facing a low-walk offense against Gilbert, who is adept at throwing strikes.

As the game total is set at a low 7.0 runs, it suggests a potentially tight contest, with the Rangers currently positioned at +100 on the moneyline. This match-up promises to provide exciting moments, especially given the respective pitching advantages and team dynamics at play.

Seattle Mariners Insights

• Logan Gilbert – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
  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 (-135/+105)
  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 (-105)
  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/-155)
  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.
