A loss to the Houston Astros Friday may be a good sign for the Seattle Mariners Saturday. The Mariners have only lost back-to-back road games once this season – and even then it was against different opponents. Those outings have seen the M’s average seven runs per game while holding opponents to just over three runs.
- Nathan Karns is 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA in two career starts against the Astros.
- The OVER is 14-3-2 in the past 17 games between the Mariners and Astros.
- The Astros are 10-4 in their past 14 games hosting the Mariners.
Dallas Keuchel is coming off one of the worst three-game spans of his career heading into Saturday’s start. Keuchel has given up 26 hits and 16 earned runs in the past three outings while pitching 16.1 innings. One of those games came against the Mariners, a game that saw Keuchel give up five earned runs in an 11-1 rout.
The Mariners will counter Keuchel with Nathan Karns. Karns has been solid this season with a 3.81 ERA, but the M’s have also supplied him with 6.6 runs of support per game.
