The Astros have scored a total of four runs during their four-game skid. Seattle should have success against Lance McCullers, who owns a 9.39 ERA over his last five starts. Look for Randy Arozarena and Julio Rodriguez to lead the way as the Mariners improve to 7-0 against Houston this season.
Lance McCullers doesnтАЩt have it. Through seven starts, his ERA is at 7.41, and that includes a 4.1-inning, 6-run dud vs. the Mariners. Bryce Miller comes off the IL for his season debut for Seattle. He was only OK last year but posted a 1.98 ERA in four MiLB starts and the MarinersтАЩ pen has a 3.00 ERA in May. Houston has scored two runs or less in five of its last six.
Bryce Miller will make his season debut after lackluster season last year. Lance McCullers Jr. owns a 7.41 ERA and has allowed at least three runs in each of his last six starts. HeтАЩs backed by the, current, worst bullpen in baseball with a 6.02 ERA. Each team are two of the better offensive teams against righties as the over is 6-2 in their last eight meetings as well.
