Astros vs Mariners Prediction

The Astros are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They lost the first game of this series but besides that 1 game, they have been playing very well recently. They just swept the Mariners in a series at home a few weeks ago and they will be hungry to bounce back after a bad performance in their last game. The mariners have not been playing well in their recent games prior to this series and they have been struggling to score runs in their games. The Astros are the better team though and they will get back on track here. The best bet here is on the Astros to win this game.
