Astros (Greinke) @ Mariners (Flexen) 9:10 PM ET
Game# 977-978
Play On: Seattle +113 (5*)

These teams are currently headed in opposite directions. Houston has lost 6 straight while Seattle is 6-1 during their previous 7 games. Houston starter Zack Greinke isn’t nearly the power pitcher he once was earlier in his career. During his previous 2 starts he’s allowed 4 home runs in 11 2/3 innings pitched. That’s not good news for Houston backers when considering Seattle has hit 13 homers over their last 7 games. Additionally, the Astros bullpen has surrendered 5 homers during their previous 7 games while posting a lofty staff ERA of 5.34 while doing so.

Chris Flexen was sharp in his only home start of the season while pitching 5.0 innings of scoreless baseball. The Mariners bullpen has been superb during their current 6-1 run with a staff ERA of 0.92 and they failed to give up a home runs during that stretch. Bet on Seattle for a 5* money line wager.
