SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION (HOUSE MONEY YTD!)
(MLB) Houston vs. Seattle,
Money Line: 109.00 Seattle (Home)
Result: Loss
9* MARINERS (DESTRUCTION)

Seattle went into the All Star break on a 14-game win streak, but the Mariners have dropped the first two here at home against the Astros to open up the second half. Robbie Ray is the difference-maker for me today though as Seattle avoids the 3-game sweep. Ray is 8-6 with a 3.54 ERA, but over his last 7 starts he's 3-0 with a 1.36 ERA. In his final outing before the break he struck out 12 in a win over Texas: "That's probably the best I felt all year," Ray said. "I felt like everything was working really well for me." Framber Valdez is 8-4 with a 2.66 ERA for the Astros and while he's enjoyed plenty of success over the Mariners in the past, I simply feel that he's in the wrong place at the wrong time this afternoon. Look for Seattle to dig deep here and deliver on Sunday; the play is the Mariners!
