Rangers vs Mariners MLB Betting Preview
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Texas Rangers Betting Preview: Leiter Stepping up for Rangers” logo1url=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/666193_rangers.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/texas-rangers” link1follow=”false”][/subheader]
The Rangers have turned to former top prospect Jack Leiter more frequently this season, and while the results have been mixed, the flashes of dominance are impossible to ignore.
Leiter enters the matchup with a 7–6 record and a 4.09 ERA through 92 1/3 innings.
His 83 strikeouts underscore the swing-and-miss potential that made him a first-round pick, but it’s the 11.4% walk rate and modest 37% groundball rate that continue to raise concerns.
He’s managed back-to-back quality starts after the all-star break, going six innings in both starts and allowing just one and two earned runs, respectively.
A few starts prior, he faced this Mariners lineup and went six innings, striking out seven and allowing one earned run. Over his last five starts, he holds a 3.00 ERA and a 27% K-rate while holding opponents to a .221 batting average.

[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Seattle Mariners Betting Preview: Gilbert’s Metrics Show Room for Improvement” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/sea.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/seattle-mariners” link1follow=“false”][/subheader]
Opposing Leiter is the Mariners’ ace Logan Gilbert, who is having yet another strong season, posting a 3.36 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP through 14 starts, but his advanced metrics signal it should be even better.
He sits in the 93rd percentile in xERA at 2.74, 93rd percentile in opponent xBA at .201, and 97th percentile in K% at 37%. His FIP sits at 2.86, and his xFIP sits at 2.38, supporting the idea that he’s not just getting by with luck or defense.
At home, however, he’s been nearly unhittable. He holds a 1.94 ERA, 0.64 WHIP, 41% K-rate and has limited his opponents to an absurd .132 batting average with a .250 slugging percentage.
Gilbert isn’t overpowering with velocity, but his pitch mix, location precision and sequencing allow him to stay ahead of hitters and control the game. He owns a 41% groundball rate and ranks near the top of the league in strikeout-to-walk ratio.
Rangers vs Mariners Pick, Betting Analysis
