Free MLB Pick
Texas starter Yovani Gallardo has two lifetime starts against the Mariners with both coming this season and both were sharp outings recording a Q start in each. Seattle starter Roenis Elias has pitched adequately in four starts against the Rangers but he didn’t go long into the games failing to complete seven innings in each start. Overall the Texas active roster has hit .286 versus him compared to Seattle’s .190 against Gallardo. Seattle has been hot, but we’ll side with the road team here.
