The Seattle Mariners went into the break by sweeping the best team in baseball, the Detroit Tigers, outscoring them 35-14 over the 3-game set and they did at Comerica Park! Tonight the Mariners will be back home to host the struggling Houston Astros. Houston is just 1-5 over their last 6 games and is expected to send southpaw Brandon Walter to the hill, and the Mariners love lefties. Seattle is 4-0 in their last 4 games against a left-handed starter and if they want to make ground on the AL West leading Astros this is their opportunity. The Mariners’ expected starter has yet to be determined.
