Texas at Seattle

The Texas Rangers can finish the season with a winning road record if they win their last two in Seattle. That would be a big boost to this young team that hung in there most of the season. The Mariners have had a much better season after dropping over 100 games a year ago, but Ryan Rowland Smith is not finishing strong allowing eight runs in 12 innings over his last two starts. Texas has been at their best against left-hand pitching, scoring five runs per game and in plus units betting-wise for the year. The Rangers have made good use of Tommy Hunter, added to the rotation mid-season. Hunter has delivered a 9-5 mark. Rowland Smith has not fared well getting his team back on track after a loss, where he has pitched the Mariners to a 4-9 mark in his last 13 starts after a loss. I like the Rangers on the road as a live dog here.
