It doesn't seem that long ago that Texas had one of the top offenses in baseball. Well in July, the Rangers rank dead-last in average (.224) and 29th in OPS (.698). Despite that, they're still averaing more runs this month than the Mariners, who are near the bottom of most batting stats. Mike Leake is coming off a near perfect game gem and will come back to earth here this afternoon.

Also, this Rangers lineup is a lifetime .342 average against him on a big 149 at-bat sample size. Seattle is only .145 lifetime against Mike Minor and ranks 27th in hitting vs. LHPs. Take the Texas Rangers to get the win here.
