Seattle Mariners vs Houston Astros Prediction
The Astros are 11-1 with Alexander since getting him from the Athletics, and he’s allowed just 14 hits and 4 earned runs in his last 16.2 innings. It’s hard to argue with that sort of success. However, the Mariners have lost one game since September 6, and they’re in the driver’s seat in the AL West. Sometimes a team just catches a hot streak and there’s nothing you can do about it. The M’s have caught fire at the right time, and I’m not excited to step in front of it. Give me the Mariners.
