Seattle is 2-4 SU in their last four games played at home. Head to head, the Astros are 6-4 SU in their last 10 games against the Mariners but Seattle is 5-1 SU in their last six home games against Houston.

Houston is 66-29 SU in their last 95 road games against an opponent with a losing record. The Astros are 41-18 SU in their last 59 road games against an opponent with a losing home record and 57-26 SU in their last 83 road games overall.

The baseball betting odds have favored Houston in Corbins’ four starts and the Astros have won three of those. The Astros are also 8-2 SU in their last 10 games as road betting favorites against the Mariners. Meanwhile, Seattle has lost its last three games as betting underdogs with LeBlanc starting on the mound. The Mariners are also 1-4 SU in LeBlanc’s last five home starts as underdogs.

The Astros are running away with the AL West and look like they are playing like they are going to another World Series. Houston is a team that is stacked from top to bottom. The Mariners started out like a house on fire but have slowed down since and now are at the bottom of their division. The Astros have been winning with Corbin while the Mariners haven’t been as lucky with LeBlanc on the mound. I’m picking the Houston Astros to beat the Seattle Mariners on 6/3/19.
