I'm a big George Kirby guy and in fact the Mariners righty was my longer-shot AL Cy Young pick in 2024. He was quite good but not that good. Kirby hasn't pitched in the Show in 2025 due to shoulder inflammation and only got to 64 pitches in his final rehab start, so this seems a bit overpriced on Seattle as if Kirby will go eight strong. Maybe five. Houston's Lance McCullers Jr. was one of the AL's better pitchers as recently as 2021 but injuries have derailed his career. He has been good in two of his three starts this year and was shredded in the other. Houston is 15-9 at home. One-run loss fine by me.
