Mariners vs Astros Betting Pick
This game will be played at Minute Maid Park at 8:10 PM ET on Tuesday, June 7, 2022.
Why Bet The Astros:
✅ Justin Verlander will take the mound for the Astros and face the Mariners for the fourth time in 2022. The 39-year-old lefty is 2-1 with a 3.48 ERA in his previous three dates with Seattle and 18-10 with a 3.26 ERA in his 34 career starts against the Mariners. Verlander will have a huge motive to dominate this game after allowing six earned runs across six frames of work in his previous encounter with the M’s. The current Mariners are slashing .203/.258/.416 in 93 at-bats against Verlander.
✅ The Astros’ bullpen is one of the best in the majors. It has recorded three wins and four saves in the last ten days of action to go with a sharp 2.82 ERA and 2.60 FIP. Houston’s relievers haven’t allowed a single home run in that span.
BetMGM Sportsbook
✅ Chris Flexen will get the starting call for the Mariners, and the current Astros have 32 hits in 119 at-bats against him. Flexen is 1-2 with a nice 2.50 ERA in three starts against Houston this term and 1-5 with a pedestrian 5.26 ERA in seven career starts against the Astros. The 27-year-old right-hander holds a 2-6 record, 4.55 ERA, and 1.41 WHIP in ten starts (55.1 IP) this season.
Seattle Mariners
The M’s have won six of their previous nine games, including a couple of home victories over the Houston Astros, 6-1 and 6-0. They are coming off a 6-5 ten-inning victory at Texas last Sunday, clinching a three-game road series against the Rangers.
Seattle entered this series carrying a 24-30 record. The Mariners were sitting at the fourth spot in the AL West, 11 games behind the Astros. They’ve scored 58 runs over their last 12 outings, posting a .256/.343/.428 slash line and a 3.75 ERA.
Houston Astros
The Astros beat Kansas City 7-4 last Sunday to clinch a three-game road set against the Royals. It was their sixth win in the last seven contests, and the Astros were topping the AL West, eight and a half games above the LA Angels.
Over the last couple of weeks, the Stars have posted a disappointing .239/.314/.374 triple-slash and a strong 3.26 ERA.
