I cannot see Texas opening this series with Seattle with 2 straight losses, and I’ll lay the juice on the Rangers Wednesday because of it. The Mariners are 1-7 in their last 8 games, and 6-20 in their last 26 games overall. Trading away Cliff Lee signified that this team has packed it in. The Mariners are just 1-5 in starter Doug Fister’s last 6 starts, while the Rangers are 9-2 in C.J. Wilson’s last 11 starts.

Wilson has been solid all year for the Rangers, going 10-5 with a 3.17 ERA in all starts, posting a 2.82 ERA in 8 road starts, and he’s 3-0 with a 1.77 ERA in his last 3 starts. The Rangers are 6-1 in their last 7 games following a loss. Texas is 21-7 int heir last 28 during Game 2 of a series. The Rangers are 10-2 in Wilson’s last 12 starts vs. a team with a losing record. Wilson has faced the Mariners twice this season, allowing 3 earned runs in 14 innings for a 1.93 ERA. Texas won those 2 games by finals of 12-2 and 3-1, respectively. Roll with the Rangers Wednesday.
