Rangers vs. Mariners Pick: Mariners ML -104

Getting the Mariners at -104 to pick up the win is a great value, as we have them winning this game 6-5. With the over/under sitting at 7 runs, there is some room to take the over, but we see this being a high-scoring game and would recommend sticking with the Mariners on the money line.

Looking at the starting pitchers, Jacob deGrom has a higher chance of picking up a win than Emerson Hancock, but we have deGrom finishing with seven strikeouts compared to Hancock with six. However, we have deGrom going five innings and Hancock going six, so we would give Hancock the edge in terms of fantasy.
