Houston Astros at Seattle Mariners Prediction

Heading into Sunday’s American League matchup between Houston and Seattle, the oddsmakers suggest this game could go either way. However, my favorite bet is to take the under at 7 runs. When looking back at Framber Valdez’s last 4 starts, not one game has surpassed 6 runs. With Robbie Ray on the other side, I expect runs to be hard to come by.
