Houston is 21-5 in their last 26 games on grass and 9-1 in their last 10 games against the AL West. The under is 4-1 in Houston’s last 5 Friday games.

Houston has been very good this season and has been led by Verlander, who has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season. Verlander has gone three straight starts without allowing a run. For Seattle, Flexen has allowed 14 runs in his last three starts. I like Houston to win by at least two here.
