Seattle Mariners vs Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m on the Mariners here. Seattle’s started to find their offense again and at the end of the day, while Heaney’s likely a better pitcher than his numbers would indicate, the fact is that the offense hasn’t backed him up in a lot of the Games and I don’t know if they will here either. Kirby has owned the Rangers in his career with a sub-1.00 ERA in his last five starts against them and I think Seattle can get it done here. Give me Seattle in this one.
