Game Storylines
AL West Rivals Clash in Series Finale
The Seattle Mariners lead the four-game series 2–1 and hold a 9–3 advantage in the season series against the Rangers. With both teams separated by just one game in the AL West standings, Sunday’s matchup carries significant playoff implications.
Rangers Lean on deGrom to Split Series
The Texas Rangers will send Jacob deGrom (10–3, 2.55 ERA, 130 K) to the mound, hoping to split the series and gain ground in the division. DeGrom has a 2.51 ERA in six career starts vs Seattle, including a dominant win on May 4. The Rangers lead the AL in team ERA (3.24) and have gone 6–4 over their last 10 games, outscoring opponents by seven runs.
Mariners Counter with Rookie Logan Evans
The Seattle Mariners will start Logan Evans (4–4, 4.92 ERA), who has struggled with consistency but owns a 1.80 ERA in his last two home starts. Seattle has gone 5–5 in their last 10 games, batting just .205 but posting a strong 2.93 ERA. The Mariners are 44–10 when out-hitting opponents, and their bullpen has been tested in multiple extra-inning games.
Pitching Matchup
- deGrom has elite strikeout ability and a 27.3% K-rate, but flyball tendencies could be risky at T-Mobile Park.
- Evans has a 5.49 xERA, suggesting potential regression despite recent success.
