Bet Today’s Mariners vs. Rangers Game
Felix Hernandez will start for the Mariners today after he allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits over three innings in his final spring training tune-up on Tuesday. Despite the struggles in that start, Hernandez shut out the White Sox over six innings in his previous outing so he should be fine heading into today’s game in Arlington.

The Rangers will counter with Cole Hamels, who turned in a strong spring start in Wednesday’s win over the Royals. He threw five innings of one-run ball and struck out five while walking just one. He allowed just two hits over his five innings of work.
Early in the regular season the pitchers are usually ahead of the hitters and with Hernandez and Hamels toeing the rubber for their respective teams, the offense should be kept in check today.
