Astros vs Mariners Prediction
The Mariners are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings against the Astros and the over is 4-1 in their last 5 meetings.
In this Astros vs Mariners Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -140 home favorites. Both teams have been struggling early this season as they have lost their last five and four games respectively. The Mariners have the pitching edge in this one, as Hancock goes up against Tatsuya Imai, with Hancock having just one earned run in two starts. Imai is coming off a shutout start and the Astros have scored just 2 total runs in their last two games. The Mariners have the third-best bullpen in baseball and are 7-2 to the under in their last 9 games, barely averaging 3+ runs this season, so this sets up for a low-scoring affair. Take the under 7.5 in this one.
