Houston Astros vs Seattle Mariners Betting Preview

On May 30, 2024, the Seattle Mariners will face off against the Houston Astros at T-Mobile Park. The Mariners, with a record of 30-26 this season, are having an above-average year, while the Astros, with a record of 24-31, are struggling. This American League West matchup promises an exciting game.

The Mariners, as the home team, will have the advantage of playing in front of their home crowd. They are projected to start right-handed pitcher Logan Gilbert, who has been performing well this season. According to our advanced-stat Power Rankings, Gilbert is ranked as the 57th best starting pitcher in MLB out of approximately 350 pitchers. With a 3-2 win/loss record and an impressive ERA of 3.06, Gilbert has been a reliable asset for the Mariners. However, his peripheral indicator, the 3.59 SIERA, suggests that he has been lucky this year and may face some challenges going forward.

On the other side, the Astros will send right-handed pitcher Spencer Arrighetti to the mound. Arrighetti has struggled this season, with a record of 2-5 and an ERA of 6.93. However, his 4.09 xFIP indicates that he has been unlucky and may perform better in the future.

The Mariners offense ranks as the 24th best in MLB this season, while the Astros offense ranks as the 4th best. This suggests that the Astros have a significant advantage in terms of offensive firepower. However, the Mariners have been led by their standout hitter Julio Rodriguez, who has been on fire in the last seven games. Rodriguez has recorded 8 hits, 4 runs, 7 RBIs, 2 home runs, and 4 stolen bases, with a batting average of .320 and an OPS of .880.

In terms of team performance, the Mariners bullpen ranks 22nd in MLB, while the Astros bullpen ranks 14th. This indicates that the Astros may have a slight advantage in the later innings.

With a game total of 7.5 runs, the oddsmakers expect a low-scoring game. The Mariners are the betting favorites with a moneyline of -145, giving them an implied win probability of 57%. The Astros, as the underdogs, have a moneyline of +120 and an implied win probability of 43%.

Overall, the Mariners have the advantage of playing at home and have a solid starting pitcher in Logan Gilbert. However, the Astros boast a strong offense and could potentially exploit the Mariners' bullpen. It will be an intriguing matchup between these two teams as they battle it out on the field.
