Seattle at Texas

Seattle has lost three of four and plays its third straight road game. The Mariners go with struggling southpaw Marco Gonzales (5.48 ERA) in this one. Texas is a home run park and is tough to pitch in, and Gonzales has a 6.29 ERA on the road this season where batters are hitting .295 off him. Texas saw him once this season and pounded out 8 hits and 7 runs in 3+ innings. Texas plays its fifth straight home game and is 38-24 at home versus teams with a slugging percentage of .410 or worse, as well as 23-15 at home against AL West opponents. With Texas winning five of the last seven against Seattle, back the home team again. Play Texas.
