Why Bet The Astros:
✅ The Mariners used their top arm in their last game against the Astros, and still could not get the job done. Luis Castillo, who pitched a gem against the Blue Jays in his first start of this postseason, could not contain the lineup of the Astros in Game 2 on Thursday. In Game 3, George Kirby is tasked with starting, and he is not likely to fare much better.

✅ Yordan Alvarez has been on fire over the last couple of games for the Houston Astros. He has multiple home runs in this series, including a walk-off home run in Game 1. Expect Alvarez to continue to make an impact in this game and for the Astros to complete the sweep of Seattle en route to the ALCS.
✅ Between the regular season and the playoffs, the Astros are now 14-7 against the Mariners this season. They have had the upper hand against Seattle for the majority of the season, and they will maintain that advantage in this contest.
Houston Astros
The Houston Astros are one game away from completing a sweep of the Seattle Mariners in the ALDS. They won Games 1 and 2 at home this past week, holding the Mariners bats in check in Game 2 after needing to outslug Seattle in Game 1. Here, the Astros will hope for a similar performance on the road en route to a return to the ALCS.
Lance McCullers will take the mound to start this game for the Astros, as he looks to pitch well to help his team advance. McCullers has pitched fewer than 50 innings this season, but has performed well in his limited action thus far. A quality start here could be huge for the Astros’ chances to move on.
Seattle Mariners
The Seattle Mariners have not built on the momentum from their AL Wild Card series win over the Toronto Blue Jays. They failed to hold a late lead against the Houston Astros in Game 1 of the ALDS, and could not get their bats going in Game 2. In Game 3, the Mariners know that a poor performance will seal their fate, and they will need to respond accordingly.
George Kirby will get the start for the Mariners in this game, who has been good but not great to this point in the season. Kirby is 8-5 with a 3.39 ERA on the season so far. He faces one of the most potent lineups in baseball in this game, and will need to deliver one of his best career performances to keep his team alive.
