Seattle Mariners
Seattle enters tonight’s contest vs. AL West leader Houston on a 7-2 tear. The Mariners have outslugged Texas and Detroit while building confidence following a rough 1-7 post All Star break stretch.
Meanwhile, unlike this evening’s opponent, Seattle remained quiet on this year’s trade front, choosing to hold assets from a group that is currently rebuilding.
And though the Mariners are streaking, they did lose Wednesday night’s series finale vs. Texas 9-7. The Rangers exploited Seattle’s 28th-ranked pitching staff early and often to move along victorious.

Yusei Kikuchi (4-7, 5.21 ERA), a 28-year-old Japan League veteran, faces down Houston’s high-powered offense tonight.
Kikuchi has found difficulty adjusting to MLB hitting during his rookie season. The LHP is 1-4 over his last five decisions and Seattle has lost nine of Kikuchi’s last eleven decisions.
The Mariners are 9-13 when Kikuchi opens.
Houston Astros
On the cusp of World Series contention, Houston bought big at the recent trade deadline. The Stros reeled in Zack Grienke, Aaron Sanchez, Joe Biagini and Martin Maldonado. In exchange for Grienke’s exceptional mound presence, along with the depth pickups, Houston parted ways with three prized prospects and Tony Kemp.
Grienke solidifies Houston’s #4-ranked pitching staff as the stretch run approaches.
And though Oakland topped the Astros 10-4 Wednesday night, Houston is peaking having won ten of their last twelve to open a commanding eight game AL West lead.

All Star Wade Miley (9-4, 3.06 ERA) has been on a tear of late winning four of his last five decisions as Houston is 5-1 in his last six starts.
Miley pitched four innings of three-run ball on April 12 as the Astros downed Seattle 10-6. Houston is 5-1 vs. Seattle this year and 15-7 when Miley opens.

Free Seattle Mariners vs. Houston Astros MLB Prediction:
Each club meets tonight riding recent success. However, re-invigorated by pennant run deals, and a slew of post All Star break wins, Houston is on another level compared with Seattle. The final score will reflect those intangibles.
