Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers preview
The AL West rivalry heats up as the equally matched Mariners and Rangers (both 57-52) clash at T-Mobile Park in a pivotal series that could reshape the division standings.
Seattle enters with momentum, having won seven of their last ten against Texas, while the Rangers bring baseball's best pitching staff – boasting an MLB-leading 3.22 ERA.
The pitching matchup features Seattle's Logan Gilbert (career 44-34, 3.58 ERA) against Texas prospect Jack Leiter in what promises to be a compelling contrast of established ace versus developing talent.
Gilbert has historically dominated the Rangers, while Seattle's offense – powered by Cal Raleigh's impressive power numbers – presents a formidable challenge for Leiter.

With both teams locked in a tight race for second place in the division, this series opener carries significant playoff implications as August baseball begins to intensify.
