We have the game of the night right here. The Astros hold a half game lead over the Mariners for the final spot in the NL wild card race. We anticipate a playoff-like atmosphere in Seattle tonight. In terms of our wager, we are going to side with the more experienced team and starting pitcher. Framber Valdez was phenomenal during the Astros playoff and World Series run last season. He has maintained a WHIP right around 1.00 over the last two months, and looks to be in good form. Mariners starter Bryce Miller has been a key contributor to the team this season. However, he’s a rookie, and this is the time of year that we see a lot of young pitchers struggle. Miller had a WHIP around 1.10 from May through August. In September, his WHIP had risen to a season high 1.52. Miller’s strikeout rate and ERA (5.49) are at a season worst mark this month. The Astros offense has a .798 OPS over the last two weeks. Seattle’s offense has a .663 OPS over the last two weeks. We will side with the Astros on the moneyline. Our stake is a half unit.
