00:00Texas taking on Seattle in Seattle, a battle of the AL West, 905-906 on the rotation.

00:06And if we look at the lines here, minus 152s overnight,

00:09as high now as minus 175s to minus 180s in favor of the Seattle Mariners.

00:15Rocker's on the mound.

00:16Kirby's the better pitcher, but that's a good-looking lineup for Texas,

00:19a really good-looking lineup tonight for the Mariners.

00:21And we'll see if Suarez is in that.

00:22A total only of 7.5.

00:25That's what you get up at T-Mobile.

00:26Rocker versus Kirby today, heavy favorites to Seattle.

00:28That's really on the move now.

00:31This is a big game for Seattle, and they've got all the momentum and all the excitement here

00:38because ownership has decided they're investing in this team.

00:42They think they have a shot.

00:43For the first time in a very long time, the Seattle Mariners are going out and making moves

00:48to give themselves a chance to actually win a World Series and an American League pennant.

00:54Kirby in this one hasn't faced the Rangers yet this year, I believe.

00:58But last year, he was flat-out dominant against them, 3-0 with a 0.95 ERA.

01:05Texas, not great on the road, and neither is Kumar Rocker.

01:09I think he's got almost a 10 ERA on the road this year.

01:13It feels like, at least in this first game, the Mariners have everything going their way.

01:18Not sure I want to step in front of that right now.

01:20We'll get to you.
