Expert Score & Prediction

The Houston Astros are really struggling, and Seattle seems to have the offense to take care of Collin McHugh. McHugh has not been that strong this season, allowing a 2.10 WHIP to start the season. Hisashi Iwakuma gets the start for the start for the Seattle Marines. He has yet to win this season, but has struck out 18, while walking just 7. Look for the Seattle offense to get it going, especially at home. The bet in this game is the Seattle Mariners -119 over the Houston Astros on Wednesday night. The final score prediction: Mariners 8 – Astros 3.
