In their last games the Astros beat the San Diego Padres 7-2 and the Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 5-2.

The Astros may be the biggest surprise of the young season and they have swept 2 straight series winning 6 straight. However, can they get it done at home? They are a MLB best 10-2 on the road, but 1 game under .500 on the road.

Many picked the Mariners to win the AL West and after slow start they have won 5 of their last 7 games including their last 3.

The Astros have won 10 of their last 11 games.

On the road this season Houston has been red hot, but at home they are only averaging 2.3 runs per game and batting .174 as a team. Their offense ranks 9th in the Majors in runs scored.

Earlier this season in Seattle the Astros took 2 of 3 games from the Mariners.

While the Mariners are only 1-4 in their last 5 games facing the Astros they are 12-4 in their last 16 games facing them in Houston.
