They enter this game with a 62-32 record overall and have a road record of 32-18. This is the series finale of a 3-game series with the Mariners on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Their offense ranks 5th in the MLB with a .742 OPS. Justin Verlander is their starting pitcher on Saturday while Framber Valdez is making his start in this game on Sunday. He is 8-4 with a 2.66 ERA this season. His team won 3 of their last 4 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 0 HRs, and 3 BB with 6 Ks on 6 hits through 6 IP against the Los Angeles Angels. 

 

The Mariners were on a 14 game winning streak but now enter this game off of a loss. They won their last series against the Texas Rangers 4-0 completing the sweep in a 4-game series. They enter this game with a 51-43 record overall and have a home record of 24-21. This is the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Astros on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Their offense ranks 15th in the MLB with a .709 OPS. Logan Gilbert is on the mound on Saturday while Robbie Ray will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Sunday. He is 8-6 with a 3.54 ERA this season. His team won their last 6 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 2 HRs, and 0 BB with 12 Ks on 6 hits through 6.2 IP against the Texas Rangers. 

The current betting odds have the Astros listed as a slight underdog in this game. They have been playing very well in their recent games. They were slowing down on their way into the All-Star break but they have come out very hot with a sweep of the Yankees in 2 games and snapping the Mariners 14 game win streak on Friday. The pitching has been on point for the Astros once again, like it has been for most of the season, but they are also scoring a lot of runs now as their offense is picking up heavily. They already have one of the best offenses in the MLB and they will be hungry for a sweep here against the Mariners who were easily the hottest team going into the break. The Astros also have the 2nd best record in the MLB right now and Valdez has been lights out on the mound all season. The Astros also have the motivation as they just beat the Yankees twice and are now in a position to catch them just a few games behind for the best record in the MLB. They are going to start a long streak here as they have already won 3 straight, and Ray will not be able to shut them down here as he has not been great this season. The Astros have already swept the Mariners in 1 series this season and they can easily do it again here as they have been heating up while the Mariners have cooled right down. The best way to place a bet here is on the Astros to win this game.
