The Astros may be the best team in the AL, but this will be a challenging game for them. They played two home games against the Yankees yesterday and now have to go on the road and face a Seattle team that has won 14 games in a row and has a fully rested pitching staff. Starting in this game for Houston is Jose Urquidy, who is 0-3 with a 10.38 ERA against Seattle this season. All time he is 0-2 with an 8.16 ERA in T-Mobile Park.
The Mariners will be starting Marco Gonzalez has a 2.66 ERA in three starts against Houston this season.
This is a good spot to back the home dog, as the Mariners have won six of their last eight head-to-head games against the Astros in Seattle.
