- Analysis
- The Mariners are coming into this game with a 57-65 record this season and they have been awful in their recent games. They have lost 6 of their last 7 games and their offense has been so bad in these games that even their 1 win came in their last game by a score of 1-0. They have scored 2 runs or less in 6 of their last 7 games and they have scored just 1 run or less in 5 of those. They are going up against an Astros team that is 62-60 this season and they have been playing well recently. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and have been so hot over the last few weeks that they are now leading their division after being 10 games under .500 just over a month ago. Their pitching has been great recently, allowing 3 runs or less in 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 6 games, and their offense has been much better as well. George Kirby is starting for the Mariners in this game and he is 8-9 with a 3.68 ERA this season. He has been very good over his last 7 starts, but the Mariners have not backed him up much with offense in those. The Mariners have scored 3 runs or less in 7 of Kirby's last 10 starts and Kirby has also struggled more on the road recently, allowing 3+ earned runs in 3 of his last 5 road starts and allowing 7 earned runs in 4 innings against the Rangers in his last road start. Peter Lambert is starting for the Astros in this game and he is 8-6 with a 3.09 ERA this season. He has been great in his recent starts as he has allowed 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 7 as well as 12 of his last 13 starts. He has also been great at home as he has allowed 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 4 as well as 7 of his last 8 starts at home. The Astros are going to continue to pitch well in this game between Lambert and the bullpen while Kirby struggles more in this game, but the Mariners lack of offense will be the key difference here. The Astros will win this game at home.
