Houston at Seattle

The Houston Astros have a commanding lead in the AL West but have some key injuries to deal with. Altuve, Correa, Springer, and Diaz are all on the shelf as is two from their starting rotation. That will force Houston to go with Corbin Martin (1-1, 5.51 ERA), who has not fared all that well (6.55 ERA in his last three starts). Houston may relax some vs. a Seattle team that has lost its way since an 11-2 start. Houston is also off a sweep vs. Oakland. And with a diminished lineup and unproven starter, that makes Seattle the choice in this one at home. Play Seattle.
