The Houston Astros are the better team and they have the more trustworthy pitcher on the mound here. The jury is still out on McCaughan, who has just five big league innings under his belt. With that said, the Mariners are a team that still gets no respect from oddsmakers and continues to win. As I’ve said many times before, the Mariners are a team I told you to watch over a month ago, and yet here they are in the thick of the wild card race. I’ll keep riding the hot hand.
