The Astros are the superior team so I'm interested in backing them in this price range. The pitching matchup is Jose Urquidy versus rookie Matt Brash. Urquidy has proven solid. He has a 1.80 ERA this season and a 3.38 career ERA versus the Mariners in four appearances.

Brash is an intriguing prospect, but he has yet to prove himself.

The Mariners will be without one of their better hitters as Mitch Haniger is on the COVID-19 list.

Houston has dominated the Mariners in Seattle winning 26 of the past 38 times there.
