Pitching today are Chris Flexen for Seattle and Glenn Otto for the Rangers.
After a rough May, Flexen was great in June and even better in July. Flexen averaged 2.5 runs a start in June and is averaging half a run a start in July. He has been a huge part of the recent success in Seattle.
Otto is not the guy a team wants to take the mound when facing a sweep. He's had a few strong starts this season, but Otto is liable to give up eight runs in a start.

Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers Betting Odds
Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers Best Picks
The first-half run line is a great bet when two starts of unequal skill are going at it. Anything can happen once the bullpen is in the game, but if a bettor knows one starter is far superior to the other, the first-half run line is a great bet.
Seattle 1H (-120)
Julio Rodriguez didn't get a hit last night after having an incredible five RBIs the day before. Of course, hitters can't be expected to perform every day, but Rodriguez seems to enjoy hitting at Globe Life Field. He should have a decent game today.

Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers Prediction
The Mariners are on a roll, and after winning 13 games in a row, they don't want to go into the break with an L. They have one of the hottest pitchers in the game on the mound, and their bats have been lively in this series. Seattle is an easy bet in this one.
Seattle (-130)
