Astros vs Mariners Prediction
The Astros should have the edge at home with Valdez on the mound, but I’m leaning toward the Mariners, who have lost one game since September 6. The Astros have also lost 8 of the last 9 games Valdez has pitched. Kirby is having a rough September, and he’s been hit hard on the road, but the Mariners are one of the hotter teams in the bigs currently and making that playoff push. I’ll gladly side with the hot hand and the slightly more favorable price.
