    Mariners at Houston - Interesting four game set

    Real nice four game series I'm looking forward to.
    Especially if you're a baseball geek.

    Are the Mariner's for real, or did they shoot their load?
    They're in pretty much a three way tie for a wild card spot.
    They're ten full games behind Houston.

    Houston is the only real threat to NY
    NY is trending downward, now Houston is the sexy pick in the AL.

    Can Seattle hang with Houston?
    Is Houston the real beast in the AL?

    How can you not love this series?

    Money line for the series:
    Seattle -205
    Houston +175

    Game One I like but I wish I was getting more than +128 is the M's tonight.
    M's trending upward, winning three game sweeping Texas.
    Astros trending downward, getting swept by Oakland (Oakland, what's up with that)?

    Main reason I like the M's is that kid Logan Gilbert.
    Astros beat him 3-`1 last week in Seattle, rematch on the road tonight.
    Gilbert overall is having a rock solid season, 10-4, 2.77 ERA, 1.15 WHIP ratio.
    Urquidy is formidable.

    I do like M's, but I really would like +135 or better.
    Under eight is the way to go I think, two pitchers than can be stingy, for this game to go over somebody will need to score more than five runs, probably six, I don't see that happening.

    I'm thinking 2-2 split.
    No way I'm laying more than 2:1 odds on Houston to beat the M's three out of four times.
    Could happen, but not at that insane price.
