MLB Betting Trends

Seattle

The Mariners are 7-2 in their last nine games following a loss. The over is 11-4 in Seattle's last 15 Wednesday games.

Houston

The Astros are 8-2 in their last 10 home games. Houston is 20-6 in its last 26 games overall.

Prediction: 

Seattle is struggling too much to trust to win a series on the road, plus we don't even know who its starting pitcher will be. That rarely bodes well. Keuchel is consistent, at home and has a good offense backing him. Go with Houston.
