Seattle Mariners at Houston Astros Preview & Picks

The Mariners have had Houston's number during the regular season so far, and they also come into this in great form on the road.

  • Seattle Mariners are 8-3 in their last 11 games
  • Seattle Mariners are 11-2 in their last 13 road games
  • Seattle are 3-1 when visiting Houston this season
  • The Over has cashed in 5 of Seattle's last 7 games

Head To Head

  • Seattle Mariners lead the regular season series 5-2
  • Seattle Mariners won 3-1 when the teams last met on July 9

Seattle Mariners Form

Seattle enter this series having stacked up a bunch of wins recently, recording 11 in their last 14 games.

The Mariners started this run at home as they beat Boston 6-3 to spark an eight-game win streak.

They then went out on the road to sweep the Los Angeles Angels in a four-game series, reeling off 5-3, 9-7, 3-2 and 3-2 wins.

Seattle then returned home to record back-to-back wins over San Diego, 2-0 and 6-1, before downing Baltimore 9-2.

The Mariners’ surge was halted by 1-0 and 5-3 defeats to the Orioles, followed by a 7-6 loss in Kansas, but they were able to get back on track as they swept the Royals 10-8, 6-5 and 6-4.

Houston Astros Form

Houston return home looking to back up their road wins in Miami earlier this week, which improved them to 70-52.

The Astros started August with back-to-back home wins against Cleveland, before splitting a four-game road series with the New York Yankees.

They then won two of their three games in Baltimore, downing the Orioles 7-6 and 8-2 before losing the final meeting 5-4.

Houston returned home after that for a three-game series with the Los Angeles Angels, winning the first two games 11-3 and 11-3 before dropping the final one, 5-1.

The Astros hit back immediately in Miami though, recording 6-5 and 12-5 victories over the Marlins.

Verdict

Seattle have repeatedly beaten Houston this season, including three wins on the road, so they make for an appealing underdog here.
