These teams are evenly matched on paper, but the pitching edge clearly leans Seattle. Kirby takes the ball and has dominated Texas in his career, going 8-0 with a 1.04 ERA in 10 starts. He\u2019s got the stuff to be an AL Cy Young contender.<\/p>\n On the other side, Eovaldi has struggled out of the gate, allowing 11 earned runs and 16 hits in just 8 2\/3 innings. Texas did snap a 4-game skid Monday, but the offense isn\u2019t as dangerous as it once was after key departures like INF Marcus Semien and OF Adolis Garci\u0301a from its 2023 title core.<\/p>\n The Rangers are good at home, no doubt but they’ve been below average against their division as a whole. They were just 25-27 against the AL West in 2025. With the clear advantage on the mound and a chance to respond after a loss, Seattle is the side to back.<\/p>\n PASS.<\/p>\n I expect this game to be tight, as they are very evenly matched which is why I’ll stay safe on the moneyline. If you are tempted by those plus odds, I don’t mind a 1\/2 unit on the Seattle run line.<\/p>\n PASS.<\/p>\n I\u2019m staying away from the total in this one. The trends are all over the place, with Seattle sitting at 5-5 in their last 10 against the total and the Rangers going 5-3-2. There\u2019s a case for the Under with Kirby on the mound, but not enough consistency to trust it.<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n
