Free NFL Pick
Seattle starter Mike Montgomery got lit up for 9 runs in his last start failing to get through the third inning at Fenway. The poor effort was his second in his last three road starts allowing a combined 16 runs on 20 hits in 11 innings. The Rangers send out Derek Holland who hasn’t pitched since April 10th when he allowed one run in one inning. He comes off the DL to make this start. Both starters do not have strong lifetime batter versus pitcher stats with the Rangers hitting .294 against Montgomery and the Mariners hitting .280 against Holland.
