The Houston Astros (62-40) and Seattle Mariners (55-47) play the finale of a three-game set Wednesday at T-Mobile Park. First pitch is scheduled for 3:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Astros vs. Mariners odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Jake Odorizzi is the projected starting pitcher for the Astros. He is 3-5 with a 4.23 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 8.3 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 over 55 1/3 innings across 12 starts and 1 relief appearance.

Odorizzi has had a rough July, going 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA, including 7 earned runs, 10 hits and 6 walks in just 8 innings across his past two outings.

Astros 7, Mariners 4

Money line (ML)

The ASTROS (-125) are worth backing in Wednesday’s series finale as it’s tough to trust Kikuchi right now. He has had mixed results against Houston this season, dominating in a 1-0 win at Minute Maid Park April 29, but allowing 5 runs and 6 hits in a no-decision at T-Mobile Park April 16.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

HOUSTON -1.5 (+125) is worth a roll of the dice on the road against Seattle. The Astros hung on for an 8-6 win Tuesday, bouncing back from Monday’s 11-8 setback.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 8.5 (-115) is the play. There has been a total of 33 runs in the first two games in this series with Houston outscoring Seattle 17-16.

Scoring won’t be that prolific Wednesday, especially with the quick turnaround, but the starting pitchers are more than giving and we’ll see another Over result.
