Seattle Mariners vs. Houston Astros Prediction
I’m leaning towards the Mariners here. I just haven’t loved what I’ve seen from Gordon up to this point, and I think the Mariners can get one more win in Houston to close out the series. The Mariners have a significant edge in starting pitching and have been able to do some damage at the plate as well, and I think they do enough against Gordon to get the win and split in the series.
