Mariners vs Rangers Game 2: Odds, Predictions, Betting Tips & Starting lineups | April 18; MLB 2026 Season The Texas Rangers and the Seattle Mariners are set to start Game 2 at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. In Game 1, the Rangers shut down the Mariners with a 5-0 record.
APRIL 18 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM
Gavin Collyer - Earns first MLB win Collyer (1-0) allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over 1.1 innings to earn the win in Friday's 5-0 victory over Seattle.
Impact Collyer entered the fifth inning with Texas leading, 2-0, after an uncharacteristically shaky outing from starter Jacob deGrom, who needed 88 pitches to get through four innings. The rookie reliever worked into the sixth inning to pick up his first MLB win. Collyer was added to a bullpen that lost two relievers to injury and is unsettled at closer. Despite the early hurdles, the 'pen ranks second in the majors with a 2.78 ERA across 74.1 innings.

Mariners head into matchup against the Rangers on losing streak

The Seattle Mariners aim to stop a four-game slide when they take on the Texas Rangers
APRIL 18 • Associated Press
Jake Burger - Knocks three hits Burger went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-0 win over the Mariners.
Impact Burger's hitting streak is up to six games, a span in which he has gone 9-for-24 (.375) with three home runs and 10 RBI. The first baseman is hitting .275 with an .811 OPS, five homers, 17 RBI, 10 runs scored and four doubles across 20 contests this season. Burger's never hit higher than .250 in a full season, so his contact may not last throughout the year, but he's in a good spot for run production as the Rangers' primary cleanup hitter.

Wyatt Langford - Three-hit game in win Langford went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-0 win over the Mariners.
Impact Langford has gone 6-for-17 over four contests since he returned from a right quad strain. The outfielder is starting to turn around his relatively slow start at the plate. He's batting .214 with a .590 OPS while adding one home run, four RBI, seven runs scored, two doubles, two triples and two stolen bases over 17 games. Langford is regularly hitting second or third in the order, which should give him plenty of chances to participate in run production.
APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Jung - Three doubles in win Jung went 3-for-5 with three doubles and one RBI in Friday's 5-0 win over the Mariners.
Impact Jung was back to seventh in the batting order Friday, but that didn't cool off his bat. He has hit at least one double in five of his last six games, adding five RBI in that span. The third baseman has four multi-hit efforts over his last nine games. Jung is now hitting .290 on the year with a .795 OPS, one home run, six RBI, six runs scored, seven doubles and no stolen bases over 17 contests.
APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Nimmo - Leads off game with homer Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 5-0 win over the Mariners.
Impact He took the third pitch of the game out to right field, and that was ultimately all the run support Jacob deGrom would need. Nimmo's bat has cooled down a little bit this week -- he's 3-for-20 (.150) with two RBI and seven strikeouts over his last five games. The drop in hitting was to be expected after the outfielder's hot start, which has helped him stay at a .313 batting average with a .934 OPS, four homers, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored and one stolen base over 20 contests.
APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE
Jacob deGrom - Pitch count gets up early DeGrom allowed four hits and two walks while striking out three over four scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Friday.
Impact While he pitched well, the Mariners were able to run deGrom's pitch count up early, as he exited with 88 pitches (57 strikes) in his four frames. This was his shortest outing of the season and also included a season low for strikeouts, but it was his first scoreless start of the year. The veteran right-hander has maintained a 2.29 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB through 19.2 innings this season. DeGrom is projected to make his next start at home versus the Pirates.

Jack Leiter - Narrowly misses quality start Leiter took a no-decision Wednesday against the Athletics, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out three.
Impact Leiter really worked to try and make it through six frames for the second time this year, firing a season-high 105 pitches, but a Darell Hernaiz single brought his outing to an end with two outs in the sixth. The hard-throwing right-hander was perhaps a bit fortunate to have surrendered only three runs, considering he gave up a season-high seven knocks and fanned a season-low three. Leiter owns a dicey 4.87 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB over 20.1 innings, though he does have a favorable matchup up next versus the Pirates.

Josh Jung - Moves up order Jung batted fourth and went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-6 win over the Athletics.
Impact Jung had a two-run home run in the seventh inning and scored the go-ahead run in the ninth. He's slowly inched up the batting order since returning from a two-game absence attributed to being banged up. In his seven games back, Jung batted ninth, then eighth, then sixth and finally cleanup. He had four hard-hit balls Thursday and lives in the 80th percentile (50 percent) in that category. Putting him higher in the order could lead to more RBI opportunities; Jung entered Thursday with the just three runs driven in over 15 games played.
APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE
Ezequiel Duran - Makes fifth straight start Duran started at shortstop and went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-6 win over the Athletics.
Impact Duran gave the Rangers a cushion with a two-run single in the ninth inning. His name popped up in the starting lineup for a fifth consecutive game, this time as a replacement for the resting Corey Seager. His previous starts came at third base for a banged up Josh Jung and in the outfield for the then-injured Wyatt Langford, both of whom are back and played Thursday. The steal was the third in the last four games for Duran, who stole 11 bags in a part-time role last season.
APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE
Wyatt Langford - Returns to field Langford started in center field and went 1-for-5 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 9-6 win over the Athletics.
Impact Langford was played the field for the first time in three games since returning from a quad injury. That he felt well enough to steal is good sign. It was the second streal of the season for Langford, who swiped 22 bags (caught six times) in 2025.
