The Texas Rangers boast a 5.61 implied total at home at the hitter-friendly Globe Life Park against southpaw Ariel Miranda and the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday.

Miranda has struggled to the tune of a 4.84 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) in 2017, which brings his career-average to 4.82, and his 5.32 xFIP against right-handed hitters is an especially weak mark.

Mike Napoli has a decent .348 wOBA, while posting a huge 45.2% hard-hit rate against southpaws this season, and he has been making particularly good contact recently, ranking 10th in average exit velocity among the 266 hitters with at least 25 batted balls since the All-Star break.
