Seattle Mariners vs Houston Astros Prediction: Mariners could take something out of this series

T-Mobile Park will host the final encounter between the Seattle Mariners and Houston 🌱Astros. The Seattle Mariners have failed to take something in this series and will look to avoid a sweep defeat. How will this encounter end?

Seattle Mariners

The Seattle Mariners continue to struggle, and they will have to do better in this finale. In the opener, this team struggled, failing to score a run, but then did well to score two runs in game 2 despite losing. However, a defeat here could mean this team will suffer a sweep, having also lost three of their four games against the Los Angeles Angels in the prior series. 

The Seattle Mariners will start Bryan Woo on the mound for this finale. Bryan Woo has a 3-1 record with a 2.45 ER♉A and 29 strikeouts this season. This will be Woo﷽’s second career start against the Houston Astros.

Houston Astros

The Houston Astros will look to keep things going after a decent start to this series. In the first two games, Houston Astros have scored seven runs, winning 0-3 and 2-4. However, a look at the Houston Astros prior series saw them lose to the Texas Rangers, winning the opener and then losing the last two games. 

The Houston Astros will start Ronel Blanco on the mound for this finale. Ronel Blanco has a 9-4 record going into this game with a 2.56 ERA and 100 strikeouts this season. In his career, Blanco is 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA and 15 strikeouts against Seattle.&nbs🗹p;

Expert Betting Tips

I am trusting the Houston Astros in this finale. The Seattle Mariners have been disappointing in recent series, and I do not see them doing well in this one either. With Blanco, you could argue, has been their most consistent arm, and while Woo came out in 2024 firing, he’s stumbled in recent starts, and I just don’t trust the Mariners’ lineup to back him up in this one if he falters again. Give me the Houston Astros to win.
