BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone OVER in 9 of Seattle's last 12 games on the road.
Seattle are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Houston.
Houston are 7-2 SU in their last 9 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Houston's last 5 games against Seattle
Prediction
The Mariners coulnd't do much against the Astros ace Justin Verlander as they only scored 1 run in the game but they'll now face Jose Urquidy who has struggled against them. Before facing Verlander the Mariners offense was doing good and with Gilbert on the mound there's definitely great value on the money line. Take the Mariners.
