Texas Rangers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction, Odds and Picks for Sunday, 08/03/25

Jacob deGrom provides the Texas Rangers with a clear starting pitching edge over Logan Evans of the Mariners today, and I lean towards a multi-run victory for the road team as a result. deGrom was not his sharpest during the month of July, allowing at least 1 home run in each start with 7 total in 28.2 innings pitched, but he still recorded 36 Ks in that span. To allow 7 home runs within 5 starts and only allow 13 combined earned runs is actually pretty good, and if he can find a way to keep the ball in the park Sunday, I expect a very strong outing. The Mariners improved their lineup at the trade deadline, but I still favor deGrom in this spot.

Evans enters this game coming off a poor start on the road against the Athletics, allowing 6 earned runs in his 4 innings of work. The 24-year-old right-hander has given Seattle decent innings this season given their injuries to Bryce Miller and George Kirby, but he is still the weakest of their starting rotation. Texas has been playing far better offensively of late, and while I wish they added more pieces at the trade deadline they have enough fire power in house to compete for the playoffs again.
