This is a 10* TO WEDNESDAY MLB TOTAL on the OVER Mariners/Astros.

Seattle has lost three straight, and it's seen the total go UNDER in all three. It's scored a total of just five runs over those three games.

I think the Mariners' bats finally come alive here though as they look to finally get off the schneid with a better performance at the plate.

Seattle has actually seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to revenge a shut-out road loss vs. an opponent (lost 2-0 here yesterday.)

Justin Dunn (1-0, 3.68 ERA) for the Mariners, but his pedestrian 14:11 K:BB points to regression.

Zack Greinke (2-1, 2.76) gave up two runs over seven innings on Friday in a no-decision to the Angels.

Greinke's been great, I just don't trust Dunn on the road here to last very long.

I'm not laying this large price on the Astros, but I do think they're going to take full advantage of this matchup. And as stated above, I also think Seattle finally wakes up at the plate tonight.

When you add it all up, it's the OVER for me.

Good luck, NP
