It’s May 3, 2025, and this American League West clash is shaping up to be a tight one, with the Mariners riding a hot streak and the Rangers looking to play spoiler at home.

On the mound, Seattle’s sending Bryan Woo to the hill. The right-hander’s been a steady hand, with a 1.30 WHIP and a knack for racking up strikeouts—think six to eight tonight if he’s on. He’s facing a Rangers offense that’s struggled, ranking in the bottom ten league-wide. Texas counters with Jack Leiter, a young arm with a 2.06 FIP at home and a 25% strikeout rate.
