Seattle right-hander Chris Flexen (2-6, 4.55 ERA) has posted a 2.50 ERA in three starts vs. Houston this season. He held Houston to one run over seven innings of a 6-1 win over Houston on May 27. Astros veteran ace Justin Verlander (6-2, 2.23 ERA) opposed Flexen in that contest and was charged with all six runs on 10 hits in six innings.

The Mariners have won four of their last five and averaged 5.2 runs per game through that stretch. They are 5-5 against the Astros on the season and I don't think they should be this big of an underdog in this matchup.
