Mariners vs Astros Prediction
The Mariners are 9-1 in their last 10 meetings against the Astros and have won their last three visits in Houston. They have swept their previous series this season by 4-0 wins in Seattle and the over is 7-2 in their last 9 meetings.
In this Mariners vs Astros Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -150 road favorites. The Mariners have been weak on the road and have lost back-to-back games against the White Sox, having scored just one run in each game and are now -150 favorites on the road? Both pitchers have been good but Lambert has been in better form with just two earned runs across his last three starts and Seattle ranks just 25th in runs per game, so I like the value with the home dog in this spot. Take the Astros on the moneyline for plus money.
