Julio Rodriguez homered to become the first player in major league history with 20 or more home runs and 20 or more stolen bases in each of his first four seasons, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 5-4 on Sunday.

Julio Rodriguez homered to become the first player in major league history with 20 or more home runs and 20 or more stolen bases in each of his first four seasons, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 5-4 on Sunday.

Julio Rodriguez hit a milestone home run as the Seattle Mariners defeated the visiting Texas Rangers 5-4 Sunday afternoon. Jorge Polanco and J.P. Crawford also went deep for the Mariners, who took three of four games in the series between the American League West rivals and improved to 10-3 against Texas this season.

Rangers RHP Jacob deGrom became the fastest pitcher in major league history to reach 1,800 career strikeouts on Sunday.

He's a long way removed from his two Cy Young awards, but don't tell him. He keeps throwing fastballs at 99, sliders at 93 and striking batters out at the rate he did as a much younger pitcher, and baseball is better for it.

Sunday was a memorable day for Jacob deGrom and the Texas Rangers. Facing the Seattle Mariners, deGrom not only threw heat but also secured a spot in the MLB record books. In the second inning, with a blazing 98.

For instance, former two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom is supposed to outpitch Luis Castillo, and the Rangers are supposed to outscore the Mariners and win Saturday. Not a very deGrom-like performance for Big Jake in his last start.

It says the Rays win in 50% of simulations, creating incredible value at those odds, and is also backing the Mariners (+121) and an alt-under in Rockies vs. Pirates. Before making any MLB picks or building any MLB parlays,
