Prediction and Conclusion

The Houston Astros are on the right way to clinch the playoffs and the division title, as they are five games ahead of the Seattle Mariners. The team from the northwest is still hanging on but has only 6.2% of a chance to reach the playoffs. There is no doubt that this series will give those answers, and both teams will start strong today. The Mariners will go with Bryce Miller, who is 11-8 for the season with a 3.06 ERA, 166 K, 173.1 IP, and 0.99 WHIP. Hunter Brown will be the starting pitcher for the Astros, who are also 11-8 for the season with a 3.57 ERA, 171 K, 164 IP, and 1.28 WHIP. The stakes are pretty high in this game, as the series may have a huge impact on the final standings. Therefore, we do not expect a lot of scoring, so we go with under 7.5 runs in total.
