This is a 1* FREE PLAY on the UNDER Mariners/Rangers.

Seattle only averages 4.09 runs per game, which ranks 24th, but the surging Mariners have made up for it on the other side with a collective 3.57 ERA.

A big reason behind that has been the steady play of Chris Flexen (6-8, 3.84 ERA), who has a highly respectable 67 to 34 strikeout to walk ratio, and who has a 3-1 (3.42 ERA) record in all "day" contests this season.

The Rangers average 4.59 runs per game, which ranks eighth, while posting a collective 4.08 ERA, which ranks 22nd.

Glenn Otto (4-5, 5.50) counters for the home side. He's admittedly struggled for the most part this year, but note that Texas has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 as a home dog in the +115 to +130 range.

With both teams looking ahead to the All Star break, we're expecting this one to be a lower-scoring affair on Sunday afternoon. Consider the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
