AAA's 5-GAME FRIDAY NIGHT DESTRUCTION PASS (BREAK OUT THE BROOMS!)
(MLB) Seattle vs. Houston,
Money Line: 104.00 Seattle (Away)
Result: Loss
Money Line: 104.00 Seattle (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Seattle Mariners.
We like the M's to pull off the slight upset here.
James Paxton: He's 12-3 with a 2.78 ERA. Paxton has had a month off on the DL and will come back into the one refreshed. The Astros are clearly a very dangerous team, but they aren't the same club as they were at the start of the season when they were completely tearing the cover off the ball on a nightly basis. Paxton's numbers are solid across the board and there's no reason to think that he won't be on top form here (note that he's 5-1 with a 3.50 ERA on the road and 8-2 with a 3.12 ERA in all "night" games.)
Charlie Morton: He's 11-7 with a 3.86 ERA. Morton comes in off a loss against the A's on Saturday, allowing three runs over six innings. Morton has been sharp across the board, but we think he's going to run into a buzzsaw here.
The bottom line: Note that Houston is a poor 18-22 (-13.8 units) against southpaws this year, while Seattle is 7-3 in its last ten against right-handed starters. We like Paxton to outduel Morton. Great value, play on the MARINERS.
