The current betting odds have not been listed for this game yet. The Astros have been playing very well against the Mariners in their recent games though. They were swept by the A's in their last series but have owned the Mariners with their last 4 wins all coming against them. The Mariners have not been as hot on offense since coming out of the All-Star break and they have struggled to score runs on this Astros pitching staff in their games. The Astros have been pitching very well and they have another solid starter going in this game with Valdez on the mound here. He has been pitching very well this season and will be able to shut down the mariners here as their offense has not been great recently. Even the games the Mariners have won since the break have been very close games and their starter here, Chris Flexen, has not pitched as well on the road this season. He will get smashed by this Astros lineup that is hitting very well right now and the Astros should continue on their streak here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Astros to win this game on the runline.

"Just another tight game with the Astros. The last four we've played have been very, very close. Unfortunately we haven't been able to do a whole lot offensively, but we had a few chances there. It was a tight game and a very well-pitched game." - Scott Servais after his team’s loss against the Astros on Thursday.

 

 

"Sometimes you give guys a day off and they come back mentally and physically refreshed. It worked today. He was fresh, and we needed that from him." - Dusty Baker after his team’s win against the Mariners on Thursday.
