This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the UNDER Mariners/Astros.

Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but I expect those trends to end this evening.

The Mariners have seen the total go OVER the number in four straight after taking three of four at KC this week. Despite their 6-4 high-scoring win yesterday, note that the Mariners have still seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 12 after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row.

The Astros took two of three at the Marlins, and the final two games did go OVER the number.

Two really good teams here, each with their eyes set on a playoff spot.

And two really decent starters going head-to-head, with Seattle turning to Bryce Miller (7-4, 4.04 ERA), and the home side countering with JP France (9-3, 2.74.)

I say this total is a little high, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
