The AL West leading Houston Astros and the third place Seattle Mariners will wrap up their 3-game set tonight at Daikin Park. The teams split the first two games, and it has been a scoring frenzy with the two clubs combining for a total of 32 runs. Tonight’s expected starters are Bryan Woo for the Mariners and Hunter Brown for the Astros. Woo is 8-8 on the season with a mediocre 4.15 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP. Brown comes in at 3-2 with a 3.68 ERA, a WHIP of 1.27, and over his last three turns he has been in the zone, going 2-0 with a 2.41 ERA and a stingy WHIP of 0.80. The Mariners are 25-37 on the road and have just two wins in their last nine tries. The Astros are the better team on the field tonight. They have the edge in runs scored, batting average, hits, homers, and should prevail.
TONIGHT’S PICK: HOUSTON ASTROS
