Seattle at Houston

After drawing Bryan Woo and George Kirby in the first two games of this series, the Astros step down in pitching class, facing Bryce Miller in his season debut for Seattle. Miller was good in 2024. But he really struggled during an injury-filled 2025 season, dealing with bone spurs. He had a 5.68 ERA. Miller has yet to pitch in the majors this season after suffering a strained left oblique during spring training. Sparked by Yordan Alvarez, the Astros have been an above-average offense ranking 10th in runs, fourth in hitting, fifth in OPS, and seventh in homers. Houston starter Lance McCullers Jr. is on the comeback trail, too. He has a hefty 7.41 ERA, but 37 strikeouts in 34 innings. He struck out nine Orioles in a victory two starts ago. Seattle ranks 21st in runs and 24th in batting average. Take the Astros.
