Leading up to the game, they were the slight favorite at -122 on the money line. It was a big 1st inning for the Mariners, as they scored three runs, and that's all they needed to get the win. The Yankees could only score two runs, both of which came in the 3rd.</p>

<p>Logan Gilbert put together a good start for the Mariners, going 5 1/3 innings and giving up just two earned runs, and picking up the win. He also issued only two walks and struck out nine Yankees. Andrés Muñoz closed things out in the 9th, picking up the save.</p><p>Seattle is 78-75 overall and trails the Astros by five games in the AL West. This season, they have gone 25-18 in divisional games. The Mariners are on the road today, and they are 32-43 as the visiting team.</p>

Before that, he had given up at least two earned runs in three straight starts.

This was especially tough, as they held a lead going into the 9th inning before the Blue Jays scored three runs in the top of the 9th. Texas was the -134 favorite at home going into the game.</p>

<p>Kumar Rocker was handed the loss out of the bullpen, as the Rangers couldn't close things out in the 9th. He also issued three walks in the 1/3 of an inning of work. Offensively, the Rangers only had two fewer hits than the Blue Jays but didn't score a run. Both of their hits were singles.</p><p>Texas will host the Mariners today with an overall record of 73-80, which has them 3rd in the AL West. Currently, they trail the Astros by 10 games and are 5.0 games behind the Mariners for the 2nd spot in the division. The Rangers are just below .500 this year, going 20-23 in divisional games.</p>

<p>At home, the Rangers are 43-35 compared to 30-45 on the road. Texas has dropped two straight games as the underdog and are 4-6 over their last 10 games. So far, they have been the underdog in 69 games, and they are 24-45 in those games. As the favorite, the Rangers are 49-35 this year.</p><p>When the Rangers win, they tend to do so by a comfortable margin, as their average run differential in victories is +3.4. They have been outscored by an average of 0.4 runs per game overall, which has led to a run line record of 65-88. They have been a better bet on the run line when they are the underdog, going 36-33, compared to 29-55 when they are the favorite.</p><p>When the Rangers are at home, the over/under line is set at 7 runs, which is the lowest line of the season for them.

The over has hit in 92.8% of their games this season, and they are currently on a two-game under streak.</p><p>Jacob deGrom is getting the start for the Rangers today as they take on the Mariners. He is coming off a start where he went 3 2/3 innings and struck out 4, but did not factor into the decision.</p><p>For the season, the Rangers are averaging 4.2 runs per game, which is 21st in the league and are also 19th in home runs. As a team, they are batting .236, which is 15th in the league. Texas has been led in home runs by Adolis Garcia, who has 23 homers but is batting just .217 for the season. Corey Seager has been a bright spot in the lineup, as he is batting .278 and has 30 homers.</p>

<p>Adolis Garcia comes into the game on a three-game hitting streak and is 6/21 in his last seven games with two homers. Marcus Semien and Wyatt Langford have also gone deep twice in their last seven games, but Semien is just 4/27 in that stretch.</p>
