Texas at Seattle

The Texas Rangers may use this game as a breather for a few starters after doing battle with a playoffs contender. The Rangers are in great shape with a four-game lead over the A's with just 12 to play. Seattle has gotten a boost in their rotation with the addition of Hisashi Iwakuma, as he is 6-5 and pitching to an ERA of 3.39. Iwakuma has been even better at home where his ERA stands at 2.57 for the season. Iwakuma has led the M's to a 6-1 mark with a pitching duel expected - with a total set of 7 to 8.5, including 4-0 at home. The M's are in a good spot here, so play on Seattle.
