The Texas Rangers look like a solid moneyline favorite here against the Seattle Mariners Monday night.

Texas hands the ball to Mike Minor (4-3, 2.61 ERA) who held the Royals to one run through five innings of a 6-1 win at Kansas City last time out. He has not allowed a single run in any of his last three starts home at Globe Life Park, covering a total of 24 innings of work.

We can also note that the Mariners are 1-7 in their last eight games vs. a left-handed starter and that Minor fanned 13 through seven innings of a 15-1 win over Seattle on April 27. Seattle's Mike Leake (3-4, 4.00 ERA) on the other hand was ripped for nine runs on 10 hits in five innings in that very same contest.

8* play on Texas Rangers.
