T.M. Selection: Seattle Mariners +1.5.

I like the Seattle Mariners runline against the Houston Astros in this game on Wednesday. The Mariners have looked pretty good in their games lately and it is hard to step in front of them when their bats get hot. It all started when they won their home series against the Astros over a week ago and they haven't lost another series since before that, winning 3 series in a row now and going for another series win here tonight. They have been gutting out ways to win lately, whether it be with their pitching some nights and their hitting on other nights, but the Astros offense is cold right now and this is a good time for the Mariners to take advantage of that. Logan Gilbert (5-2, 2.22 ERA) is up for the Mariners here and he has been their ace this year, rarely making a bad start and he hasn't given up a lot of runs in any starts this year either. He has been pitching really well lately and he has been going deep into their games too, I think he can continue that here and keep this Astros offense cold like they have been lately. The Astros have Jose Urquidy (5-2, 4.76 ERA) in this game and he hasn't looked great all year but he has really been going downhill as of late. He just gave up 3 runs in his most recent start but he has also been giving up 3+ runs in 3/4 of his 4 previous starts. I think he will continue that here and I expect the Mariners to put up some runs on him early while Gilbert keeps them in this game. I think this is a game that the Mariners can even win but I like the Mariners runline in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Mariners.
