The Pitchers: Rangers starter Vicente Padilla is 2-7 in 11 starts covering 64.0 innings. Padilla has 31 Ks, 30 walks and a 5.77 ERA.
Seattle starter Cha Seung Baek is 2-2 in seven starts covering 43.0 innings. Bael has struck out 31, walked 8 and has a 4.60 ERA.
Padilla is one of the most hittable starters in all of baseball, though I’ve been watching him get absolutely pounded for years now.
Seattle’s Baek is pretty good – and getting better with each outing.
Though the Ranges have the better lineup, the Mariners are a fine defensive team. If Baek pitches with purpose, Seattle should win.
MLB Free Picks: Take the Mariners to win.
