10* Astros (ASSASSIN)

These teams are suddenly moving in opposite directions and we're expecting those trends to continue here. Two really good starters, but Houston is getting healthier and has a lot of ground to make up after a terrible start. Seattle is now 17-15 overall and just 6-7 on the road after yesterday's 5-3 series-opening loss here. Houston is now 12-20 overall, and 7-10 at home after winning six of its last seven. The Mariners have now lost two straight and we're expecting that slide to continue here facing Framber Valdez, who has been a ray of sunshine for the Astros this year, coming in 1-0 with a 2.60 ERA. Logan Gilbert is 2-0 with a 2.03 ERA for the Mariners, but look for Houston to build off its recent momentum and to deliver the goods in front of the home town crowd; lay the price, the play is indeed on the Astros!
