Play: Seattle Mariners
Rating: 8/10*

The Seattle Mariners have won four straight and six of their last eight and they're 8-1 in their last nine road games.

Tonight Ariel Miranda (7-4, 4.31 ERA) takes the ball for Seattle. He has admittedly not been all that great lately and posted a 6.55 ERA in four July starts, but the Mariners are 4-1 in Miranda's last five road starts and the Rangers are 1-5 in their last six games vs. a left-handed starter.

Texas turns to Andrew Cashner (6-8 , 3.48 ERA) who held Baltimore to one run through seven innings in his last start. He has never beat Seattle in his career, going 0-3 with a 3.58 ERA in six games (five starts), and this is not a good time to face the red hot Mariners.

Mariners are 10-4 in their last 14 Wednesday games. Rangers are 1-8 in their last 9 Wednesday games.
