It's a difficult situational spot for the visitors. Seattle plays its seventh consecutive road contest. They're having a great trip but batters are hitting .289 off starter Emerson Hancock (5.40 ERA). The offense is just 16th in on-base percentage and 17th in slugging. Houston is also playing well, on an 18-11 run, and plays its third straight home game. The offense is sixth in runs scored, plus 12th in on-base percentage and slugging. The Astros are 87-52 versus winning teams, 75-37 after a loss, and 28-9 after a defeat by 4 or more runs. Play Houston.
