The Mariners are coming into this game with an 18-15 record this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They have won 3 of their last 5 games and they are coming off of a 5-0 win against the Astros yesterday which will give them some confidence to win this series in this game as their offense is heating up again. They are going up against an Astros team that is 12-21 this season and has been playing better in their recent games, but their offense struggled to score runs in their last game with a good starting pitcher for the Mariners and they are going to struggle again in this game as the Mariners have another stud on the mound. Bryce Miller is starting for the Mariners here and he is 3-2 with a 2.04 ERA this season. He has been pitching very well recently as he has not allowed more than 2 earned runs in each of his last 5 starts, allowing just 1 earned run or less in 4 of their last 5. He also had some good performances against the Astros last season as well. Hunter Brown is starting for the Astros in this game and he is 0-4 with a 9.78 ERA this season. He has been awful in his starts this season as he has allowed at least 2 earned runs in each of his last 5 starts, allowing at least 5 earned runs in 3 of his last 5 starts, and he is coming off of a start which he allowed 6 earned runs in. He also struggled a lot against the Mariners last season as he allowed at least 5 earned runs in less than 3 innings on 2 different occasions against the Mariners. The Mariners offense is starting to heat up again and they are going to have no trouble scoring runs in this game with the pitching matchup while the Astros have a lot more trouble here. The Mariners will win this game.
