Houston at Seattle

The Houston Astros have stumbled a bit, dropping five of their last six games, but when you have the depth of pitching the Astros have, along with a deep run-producing lineup, those bad stretches don't tend to last to long. They get a fresh start in heading to the West Coast, and taking on 9-5 Seattle. The Mariners good start was largely due to swinging some hot bats, but it looks like they are cooling off, producing a total of 3 runs in their last 2 games. The Mariners lack depth in their starting rotation, and this will be the first time they needed a fifth starter all season, prompting the call-up of Ariel Miranda, who will make his MLB debut. That is tough enough, but doing it against Houston, who is going to be hungry for a win is a daunting task. Take Houston.
