Seattle Mariners vs Houston Astros Prediction
The Astros are going to find success in this game. The Mariners offense has been a major issue all season and it’s going to be a problem again here. Kikuchi gave up only one run in his last start and he’s going to dominate here. The lack of scoring by the Mariners is going to be enough for Houston to come out on top. Back the Astros on the money line. I am also throwing a few dollars on the Astros on the run line.
