Seattle Mariners vs Houston Astros Prediction
I’m not excited to get behind either of these teams that have underachieved up to this point. The Mariners were a popular World Series pick before the season and they’re three games below a .500 record. The Astros have a losing record at home and their pitching staff has been horrendous. I’m grabbing the under in this spot. Kirby has a 2.94 ERA and 1.10 WHIP through 52 innings, while Lambert has a 2.42 ERA and 1.16 WHIP through 22.1 innings. Lambert has yet to allow a home run this season. Two pitchers in good form, I expect a somewhat low-scoring game. Give me the under.
