The Houston Astros are due for some damage control in Seattle, where they'll face off against the hapless Mariners at 4:10 PM ET on MLB.TV. With their .270 batting average threatening to leave the .190 Mariners in the dust, the Astros will try to cash in on their hitting prowess against a Seattle team that's been scrambling to find its offense.
Logan Gilbert will take the mound for Houston, looking to shake off his 0-2 record and 5.40 ERA - not exactly the numbers you'd expect from a pitcher tasked with taming the Mariners' anemic bats. The real showdown, though, is the team ERA contrast: the Astros' 6.32 is practically shouting distance from the Mariners' 2.86. Bennett Sousa and Glenn Otto are out injured for the Astros; it's anyone's guess how these absences will impact the game. Make your pick or follow the discussion on StreakChat.
