The Astros are coming into this game with a 24-32 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games and they have been much worse on the road this season at 10-17. They are going up against a Mariners team that is 31-26 this season and has been playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 4 straight games and they have been much better at home this season at 18-10. Their pitching has also been great in this series as they have not allowed more than 2 runs in any of the games. They are going to continue to pitch well in this game as they have Logan Gilbert starting and he is 3-2 with a 3.06 ERA this season. He got blown up a few weeks ago, but he has been much better since then as he has not allowed more than 3 earned runs in each of his last 3 starts, allowing just 1 run in his last start. He has also been much better at home this season as he has allowed 3 earned runs or less in all 4 of his home starts, allowing 2 earned runs or less in 3 of those as well. He also pitched against the Astros at the beginning of May and was great as he allowed no runs in 8 innings and continued his success against the Astros from last season as well. Spencer Arrighetti is starting for the Astros in this game and he is 2-5 with a 6.93 ERA this season. He has not been having a good rookie season as he has not had a start yet which he allowed less than 2 earned runs in. He has allowed 7 earned runs between his last 2 starts and he has been much worse on the road as well. He only gave up 3 earned runs in his last road start, but that was also against a much weaker offense in the A's and that was his best road start all season. Prior to that, he allowed at least 4 earned runs in his 3 other road starts this year. The pitching has been very good for the Mariners in this series and that will continue here with Gilbert on the mound as he has been great against the Astros. The Astros will not have the offense to keep their team in this game with this pitching matchup as Spencer Arrighetti is going to give up runs on the road here. The Mariners are going to win this game at home and sweep the series.
