Seattle Mariners
The Mariners are the team to watch in the American League at the moment, winners of 13 out of their last 16 games and atop the tough AL West.
Now, the M’s are certainly hot, playing their best baseball now with really only a distance to fall once they cool off. Their Pythagorean record is also six games worse than their current record now.

But this was the best way a team could have responded to the discouraging news that the team’s highest-paid player was suspended for a failed drug test.
The M’s have done it with a lineup that has no holes — everybody is right around 90 OPS+ or better — and a hot pitching staff led by James Paxton.
Paxton gets the ball tonight, 4–1 overall with a wicked strikeout rate. He went 3–0 in six May starts, bringing his ERA down from 5.12 to 3.13. He beat the Astros for his first win of the season in mid-April, giving up three hits and one run in six innings.
Houston Astros
So for as good as the Astros have been, they have some distance to make up in the division, though they have plenty of games left to do it and an easier schedule after traversing the most difficult portion already.
Houston ran the gauntlet in May, playing four consecutive series against Cleveland, New York and Boston, plus one with the Angels just prior.

The Astros didn’t thrive, no team would, but they came out with more wins than losses to maintain their torrid pace. As compared to the Mariners, Houston is actually seven games worse than its Pythagorean record.
Dallas Keuchel’s 3.65 ERA represents the second-worst in the Astros’ starting five. His 1.20 WHIP is the worst. That’s competition bringing out the best in teammates.

Free Seattle Mariners vs. Houston Astros MLB Prediction: Houston.
Look, the Astros are the better team. I’m going to look away from the momentum, especially after a day off on Monday, and just take the better team at a bargain price.
