The Pitchers:
Rangers starting pitcher Kameron Loe is 1-4 in eight starts and five relief appearances covering 54.0 innings. Loe has 32 strikeouts, 15 walks and an ERA of 6.17.
Mariners starting pitcher Miguel Batista has 35 strikeouts, 20 walks and 5.72 ERA. Batista is 5-4 in ten starts over 56.2 innings.
As I stated, this pick is pretty tough to gauge. Both of the starting pitchers are mediocre at best at this point of their respective careers, though Batista is slightly more accomplished.
Take the Mariners and Batista to win this game and cover.
