Houston Astros
The Astros will come into this game on a days rest after splitting a series with the Diamondbacks. In this series, the Astros were only able to mustard up scoring 4 runs. They lost Wednesdays game 3-2 in the 10th inning when Ketel Marte hit a walk off single.
Jake Odorizzi comes into this game 0-0 on the season after picking up a no decision against the Angels last Friday. In this game, he pitched 4 innings, giving up 6 hits and 2 earned runs. In his first start, he threw his fastball 66.7% of the time and the Angels had 5 of their 6 hits vs the fastball. Last year, the fastball was his bread and butter; he threw it 55.2% of the time and opposing teams only hit .236 vs it.
So far this season, Alex Bregman is leading the team in batting average, HRs, and RBIs. Bregman has dropped his K% from 13.3% in 2021 to 8.3% in 2022 so far. This is a big stat to watch for Bregman to see if he can continue to put the ball in play and make things happen for the Astros.
This is a strong match-up for the Astros vs Marco Gonzales. Minimum 10 at bats, they have 5 guys that have over a .330 batting average vs Gonzales. This could be a long day for Gonzales if these trends for the Astros hitters continue on Friday night.
Seattle Mariners
The Mariners come off a win vs the White Sox on Thursday afternoon. Logan Gilbert pitched 5 innings and gave up 0 earned runs in his outing and the Mariners added homers by Kelenic and Haniger to salvage the series.
Marco Gonzales comes into this game 0-1 on the season with a 9.00 ERA in just 2 innings of work. He got knocked around by the Twins with them getting 6 hits off him in those 2 innings. Like I shared in the Astros preview, Gonzales has not pitched well to a lot of Astros players; it should be interesting to see how he pitches this time around.
On offense, JP Crawford has hit well to start the season going 10-24 in 7 games this year. Mitch Hanger has 4 hits on the young season, but 3 of those hits have been home runs. Jesse Winker and Eugenio Suarez are both hitting under .200 after being added right before the season started.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- Under is 4-0 in Astros last 4 overall.
- Under is 4-0 in Astros last 4 during game 1 of a series.

Houston Astros vs. Seattle Mariners MLB Prediction:
This is a pretty easy pick; give me the Astros ML. After looking up Astros players vs Marco Gonzales, I had no choice but to hammer the Astros and trust that those bats keep hitting while vs Gonzales.
Look for the Astros to put up some early runs (maybe sprinkle Astros F5 ML). Let’s lock in the ML bet and win some Cash!
