The Astros and Mariners continue their divisional matchup tonight with Houston currently one game up on Seattle in the AL West. Both teams are trying to gain ground on the streaking Rangers so every divisional game from here on in could be pivotal. Taijuan Walker (4-6, 3.29 ERA) will take on Dallas Keuchel (5-9, 5.13 ERA) in Tuesday night’s game.
- Both teams are 7-3 in their last 10 games.
- The Mariners are 0-7 in their last 7 road games.
- The Astros are 11-2 in their last 13 games as favorites.
Keuchel is far from the pitcher he was last year in his AL Cy Young Award-winning season but he has posted three straight quality starts that have all resulted in Astros’ wins. The Houston ace has started two games against the Mariners this year and is 0-1 with a 4.85 ERA.
Walker is finally coming into his own as an MLB starter after an up-and-down 2015. Although he has not been going all that deep in games because of a nagging foot injury, he has been posting solid numbers. Like Keuchel, Walker also has two 2016 starts against his opponents tonight. He, however, is 1-1 with a 2.00 ERA in his two opportunities.
