The Astros enter this game with a 24-31 record and a 10-16 away record. Spencer Arrighetti is the probable starting pitcher for Houston.
Spencer Arrighetti has struggled this season with a 2-5 record, a 6.93 ERA, and a WHIP of 1.78 over 37.2 innings. His high ERA and WHIP indicate difficulties in controlling games and limiting opposing offenses.
The Mariners have a 30-26 record and a 17-10 home record. Logan Gilbert is set to start for Seattle.
Logan Gilbert has been impressive with a 3-2 record, a 3.06 ERA, and a WHIP of 0.96 over 70.2 innings. His ability to limit baserunners and strike out batters (66 Ks) has been a significant advantage for the Mariners.
| Team | Moneyline | Total | Run Line |
|---|---|---|---|
| HOU (24-31) | +120 | o7.5 (-115) | +1.5 (-175) |
| SEA (30-26) | -140 | u7.5 (-105) | -1.5 (+145) |
For this matchup, we predict that the Seattle Mariners will emerge victorious. Here's why:
Logan Gilbert has been outstanding for the Mariners this season, boasting a 3.06 ERA and a WHIP of 0.96. His ability to limit baserunners and keep hitters off-balance will be critical against the Astros. Meanwhile, Spencer Arrighetti's struggles on the mound, reflected in his 6.93 ERA and 1.78 WHIP, provide a significant opportunity for the Mariners' offense.
The Mariners' lineup, while not dominant, has key contributors like Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh who can capitalize on Arrighetti's weaknesses. Additionally, Seattle's solid team ERA of 3.63 and WHIP of 1.08 show their overall pitching strength, which has been a cornerstone of their success this season.
Furthermore, the Mariners have a strong home record (17-10), indicating their ability to perform well at T-Mobile Park. This, combined with their recent form, gives them a clear advantage over the Astros.
