MLB Betting Trends

Seattle

The Mariners are 4-0 in their last four Friday games. Seattle is 9-22 in its last 31 road games. 

Houston

The Astros are 40-16 in their last 56 Friday games. Houston is 41-19 in its last 60 home games. 

Prediction:

I don't even care who the Mariners are throwing. They are facing an Astros team looking for anyone to feast on after a tough stretch of games. Even though Houston is without all its key hitters, there is plenty enough to do damage. Miley can be a frustrating matchup for opposing hitters and I don't see Seattle doing a lot of damage against him. Go with the big favorites tonight.
