Seattle Mariners Offense Firing on all Cylinders, Texas Rangers Struggling to Score: Bryan Woo Key Factor in Matchup against Jack Leiter

The Texas Rangers showcased an impressive offensive performance with 15 runs scored against the A’s on Tuesday; however, recent trends suggest this may have been an outlier. In seven of their last eight games, the Rangers have struggled to score three or more runs. Conversely, the Seattle Mariners have been on an offensive tear, scoring at least four runs in nine of their last 10 games and totaling 35 runs in their last four outings. Bryan Woo has shown significant improvement this season after struggling in his first two years in the majors. With only six earned runs allowed over his last three starts spanning 20 innings, Woo is poised for another solid performance. The Mariners' potent offense, boasting a .903 OPS and 168 wRC+ against right-handed pitchers in the past 10 days, is expected to present a challenge for Jack Leiter, who has struggled with control in his recent outings.
