Free Houston Astros vs. Seattle Mariners MLB Prediction:
The Seattle Mariners have been bringing the big boy sticks with them to the batter’s box scoring 63 runs in their last ten games. They have won eight in a row and need to pick up some ground in order to make the post season as a wild card.

Momentum goes a long way in the Majors. Seattle has plenty of it right now and I look for it to continue on Saturday night. The Mariners should have no problem winning at home and I think they will put up a lot of points on the board in the process.
