The series against the Rangers proves that the Mariners are in great shape. Both physically and emotionally. For sure, the Mariners got a lot of confidence from their home winning streak against Houston, the longtime leaders of the AL West: 11-1, 0-4, 7-2. The Mariners have made it clear that they are ready to fight for the top spot in the quintet this season.
Marco Gonzales will pitch for Seattle in their final game against Texas. The 30-year-old began his eighth MLB season with a terrible game against Minnesota (4-10), where he allowed six runs in two innings. Gonzales then rehabbed in a game against Houston (11-1), where he allowed only 1 run in 7 innings.
Texas won only 2 games
The start of the 2022 championship shows that the Rangers again have no prospects to even put up a fight for the playoffs. The Texans have won just 2 games and lost 9 times already, right now solidifying their last spot in the entire American League.
Taylor Hearn will pitch for the Rangers in the upcoming game. In two games in the new season, the 27-year-old lefty has allowed four runs and as many as 14 hits in 7.2 innings against Colorado (4-6) and the Los Angeles Angels (2-7).

Expert Betting Tips
Seattle took the first two games of the season series very confidently. It is also worth noting that last season the Mariners beat Texas 8 games out of 10 on their home field. It seems, that the final score of the confrontation will be the same in the current championship as well. The teams' class at the moment is too different.
Prediction: a win for Seattle.
