Astros (Odorizzi: 6-6, 4.46) vs Mariners (Gilbert: 5-5, 5.44)
Houston was shut out last night. Kikuchi surprised me with an unexpected return to pre-allstar form. Rookie Logan Gilbert is pitching for the Mariners, and any surprises are far more unlikely. Gilbert has struggled mightily; in his last 3 starts he has given up 19 runs in 12+ innings. He has been poor at home, and was absolutely pummeled by the Astros just 10 days ago.
Odorrizzi starts for the Astros today. He is 3-2 in August and has allowed 7 runs in his last 15+
innings. He is not a good road starter and has struggled against the right.
The Astros have the edge in offense, and tend to prey upon struggling right-handers. Let us take the bullpens out of the equation, and wager on the first half. Take the Astros/ Mariners total to go over in the first five innings.
