The Seattle Mariners have started the year 0-for-Texas.
They try to avoid a 5-game losing streak overall and five straight to their division rival when they square off Saturday.
The AL West-leading Texas Rangers still find themselves as road underdogs in this one, as they'll be facing Seattle ace George Kirby.
With Nathan Eovaldi on the bump for Texas, my Rangers vs Mariners predictions and free MLB picks for Saturday, April 18.
Who will win Rangers vs Mariners tonight: Rangers moneyline (+122)
The Seattle Mariners just can't get the offensive ball rolling. As part of their 8-13 start, the Mariners have scored two runs or fewer in eight of their losses.
That doesn't take the starting pitching staff off the hook, because they haven't totally been up to the task either. The starters own the eighth-worst ERA in baseball (3.35).
Texas Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi might have won his last start, but he's just 3-4 with a 5.27 ERA in 14 appearances against the M's. It's too bad Seattle isn't able to take advantage of that right now.
COVERS INTEL: The Rangers and Mariners rank 1-2 in bullpen ERA in the American League. Texas (2.78) is second overall to Cincinnati, while Seattle (3.16) sits seventh-best in the bigs.
Rangers vs Mariners Over/Under pick: Under 7.5 runs (-130)
The Rangers' four straight wins over the M's this year have all cashed the Under, with both teams yet to surpass five runs combined.
This will be the second matchup between George Kirby and Eovaldi.
On April 7, Eovaldi went six, giving up two runs on six hits while striking out seven, and picking up the W in a 3-2 decision.
Kirby lasted eight innings, scattering six hits, surrendering three runs, and striking out four.
It's not a pleasant day at the office for either lineup: the Rangers are hitting a combined .220 against Kirby, while Seattle is at .204 vs Eovaldi.
