Before the Mariners' offense kind of woke up on Sunday, they scored three total runs between Friday and Saturday against the Angels, none coming before extra innings. It's hard to believe Seattle will do its part to clear this number against Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom. Add in Logan Gilbert toeing the rubber for the visitors, and this could easily end 3-2 or 4-3.

Andrew Painter looked sharp in his MLB debut and now draws the second-worst offense in baseball to start the season. The Giants boast a putrid 66 wRC+ and .564 OPS (entering Sunday), and unless that production turns around quickly, San Francisco is in trouble. I like Philly's chances at running up the score, too, against a pitch-to-contact hurler like Adrian Houser.
