Texas at Seattle

Texas isn't hitting or winning a lot at 27th in slugging, 21st in on-base percentage, and 30th in team batting average. The Rangers are 15-41 as an underdog of +151 to +200. Lefty starter Ross Detwiler (9.00 ERA) has been terrible allowing 24 base runners in 10 innings and 13 runs (10 earned). The last three years he's 4-10 on the road. Texas is 1-4 against a left-handed starter and faces southpaw James Paxton, a good young arm off a strong season. He shut down Texas last season with a 0.71 ERA. The Mariners are 6-2 in Paxton's last eight home starts, plus 8-3 at home against a left-handed starter. And the home team is 20-7 in Bill Miller's last 27 games behind home plate. Play Seattle.
