Mariners a good bet to beat Rangers? MLB Predictions 5/7/17
Are the Mariners a good bet to beat the Rangers this afternoon when the division rivals wrap up their series at 4:10PM ET?
The Odds
The Mariners are -125 money line favorites to beat the Rangers according to oddsmakers. That makes Texas a +115 underdog to pull off the upset today in Seattle. Today’s pitching matchup pits Andrew Cashner versus Dillon Overton and with that, the over/under sits at 8.5 runs.
The Under hot when Cashner starts for Rangers
In Cashner’s last four starts, the under has cashed in all four outings. The under is also 4-0 in Cashner’s last four starts after the Rangers scored two runs or less in their previous game. Furthermore, the under is 19-6-2 in the Rangers’ last 27 games versus a team with a winning record.
Over cashing in recent Mariners games
While the under has been a sound bet when Cashner starts for the Rangers, the over has been cashing in recent Mariners games. The over is 5-1 in Seattle’s last six games overall and 5-1 in the tam’s last six divisional games. The over is also 18-4 in Seattle’s last 22 home games versus an opponent with a road winning percentage of less than .400.
MLB Predictions
The Mariners have been a good bet at home, cashing in eight of their last 11 games in Seattle. They’re also 14-5 in their last 19 games versus an opponent that owns a losing record. At 5-2 in their last seven home games versus a right-handed starter, the Mariners are a quality play on Sunday.
On the other side, the Rangers have dropped five of seven overall. They’re also just 4-11 in their last 15 games against American League West rivals. They’re just 3-9 in their last 12 road games as well.
Sunday MLB Prediction: Seattle Mariners -125
