Seattle Mariners vs Texas Rangers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/08/26

The Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers cap off their series with an afternoon game on Wednesday. The Rangers have won a pair of close, low scoring games so far in this series, winning 2-1 on Monday and 3-2 on Tuesday. The Mariners continue to get outstanding pitching coupled with zero offense, as they are the 4^th-lowest scoring team in the league after the first couple of weeks. I will ride that trend again on Wednesday and play the game total under 8 runs.

MacKenzie Gore has been excellent so far with the Rangers, striking out 16 batters over his first two starts while allowing a manageable 5 total runs. He should flourish with the Rangers. He will face Bryan Woo, who is consistently one of the best pitchers in baseball. We have two good starters on the mound. We have two teams struggling on offense thus far and averaging well under 4 runs per game. We have two low-scoring games thus far in this series. And neither team has used much bullpen in the past two days. That has “under” written all over it.
