Seattle Mariners @ Texas Rangers - June 28, 2025

Alright folks, gather ’round! It’s that time again when our Seattle Mariners take the field against the Texas Rangers. We’re heading to Globe Life Field for what promises to be a thrilling showdown between two familiar foes. The intensity is sure to be palpable, and trust me when I say that my heart is already racing just thinking about it!

Now, let’s break down the match-up. The Mariners are bringing out their ace Bryan Woo. He’s been solid this season with a 7-4 record and a snazzy 2.9 ERA. That’s right, he’s been dealing like a magician at times! And can we talk about his strikeout game? He’s racking up over 8 punchouts per start – love seeing that kind of fire on the mound.

On the flip side, Texas has Kumar Rocker on deck. Now, I’ve got to be real with you; his numbers haven’t exactly been sparkling with a 3-4 record and an ERA that’s creeping up to 6.7. While he has shown flashes of brilliance (especially if you squint your eyes), he’s going to have his work cut out for him against this Mariners lineup that can pack a punch.

Now here comes the juicy part: Both teams have shown they can score runs lately! The Mariners are averaging over 4.6 runs per game while consistently finding ways to get hits (over 8 hits on average). On the other hand, despite Texas struggling recently at home with just one win in their last five games there, they’re still capable of putting runs on the board – albeit at an average around 3.6 per game.

From what I’ve seen lately, betting trends show Seattle having some trouble against the spread but they’re coming off back-to-back wins – including their last matchup where they took down the Rangers in a nail-biter ending at 7-6! Talk about heart-stopping drama! I mean c’mon guys; my lucky jersey was practically glowing from all that excitement!

As we gear up for Saturday’s face-off, I’d be lying if I said I’m not expecting fireworks on both sides of home plate. With both lineups hungry for runs and given how these teams are trending – especially with Seattle hitting over in seven out of their last eight games – I wouldn’t be surprised if we see another high-scoring affair tonight.

As much as it pains me as a proud Mariners fan who bleeds blue and teal, I feel like Texas might edge us out tonight simply because they’re desperate for a win after recent losses piling up like dirty laundry. But mark my words: it’ll be close! Expect plenty of action and don’t forget to grab those snacks because this one will keep you on your toes.

So there you have it: My prediction—Rangers beat Mariners tonight (but only by a slim margin), and we’re definitely taking that over bet! Go M’s… but don’t count those Rangers out just yet!
