Game 1 Matchup
Millwood: Kevin pitched a decent game his last time out, against the Red Sox, going 6 innings allowing 3 runs and picking up his first win of the season. In 6 starts against Seattle in 2006 Millwood went 3-2 with a 3.79 ERA and is 5-3 with a 3.65 ERA in 9 career starts against the Mariners.
Washburn: In his first start of the season, against Oakland, on April 3rd Washburn gave up just 2 earned runs over 6 innings but ended up with a no decision.
Game 2 Matchup
Padilla: After being rocked for 6 runs in his first start, Padilla settled down last time out going 7 innings allowing just 3 runs on 4 hits, although he still took a loss. He has struggled against Seattle in his career going 1-3 with a 5.74 ERA but went 1-0 with a 3.65 ERA against them in 2006.
Batista: In his only start of the season Batista was hammered by Oakland for 8 runs on 10 hits over 4.2 innings, although he did manage to strike out 5 batters.
Game 3 Matchup
McCarthy: Brandon is coming off his best start of the season allowing just 2 runs on 5 hits over 6 innings and picking up his first win as a Ranger. McCarthy has only faced Seattle twice in his career, both times as a reliever, going 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA.
Ramirez: Will be making his first official start of the season. At least that is what he must be hoping right now after he pitched 4 innings in his previous start against Cleveland but was cancelled due to the field being covered in snow.
