The Houston Astros dropped two of three to the Texas Rangers (46-50, 3rd in AL West) in Houston before the All-Star break. Before their three-game set with the Texas Rangers, the Astros had won four straight series at home, including sweeps of the Miami Marlins and the Baltimore Orioles.
The starting pitcher for the Astros, Ronel Blanco (six innings, two hits, two runs, five strikeouts) was effective in the series finale against Texas, but got his fourth loss of 2024. Center field Jake Myers smacked his 10th homer of the season. Houston’s pitching staff has been on point lately, limiting their opponents to three runs or less in six of their last seven contests.

The Seattle Mariners lost three straight to the Angels in Los Angeles to end the first half of the season, including a 3-2 loss in the series finale. Starter Logan Gilbert got his fifth defeat of the year, despite pitching seven scoreless innings and striking out nine Angeles batters. He lowered his ERA to 2.79. Shortstop J.P. Crawford hit his ninth homer of the season from the leadoff spot in the loss.
Seattle was no hit-through five by the Angels’ pitching staff. After the match, Los Angele outfielder, Mike Trout, who has been absent most of the campaign with a torn meniscus, said he is gearing up for a return at the end of July. Mariners hurlers have been efficient lately, permitting three runs or less in five of their last six games, including two shutouts.
MatchPlug Prediction For Houston Astros VS Seattle Mariners
To make Houston’s woes in this contest worse, Seattle has a spectacular pitching staff this year, ranking third in the league in ERA with 3.47. The Astros lost two of three matches to close out of the first half. They will play without outfielder Kyle Tucker, who is on the IL with an injured Shin. The stats and trends strongly back a Mariners win in Seattle to kickstart the second phase of their season.
Prediction: Seattle Mariners Moneyline.
