Result: Loss
10* AL WEST TOM on the OVER Astros/Mariners.

This is an "action" play, meaning whoever gets the start for either side, this will be a valid pick. We have two decent starters going head-to-head here, but whoever gets the start, we do love the way this one sets up to be a higher-scoring "slug-fest," rather than a "duel." That said, Houston is expected to start Framber Valdez (8-5, 3.66 ERA), while the home side will counter with Luis Castillo (8-9, 3.53.) Honestly, it's difficult to really say anything negative about either of these guys right now, so we're not even going to bother. Note though that Seattle has seen the total go "over" the number in eight of its last 12 when playing with three or more days of rest. That's significant to note for this pick obviously. It's also important to note how incredibly hot it is in the PNW right now. These balls are going to have plenty of action to leave the park in this one, and when you combine all of these situational factors together, we do indeed feel that this O/U line is MUCH too small; the play is indeed on the "under!"
