The Marins de Seattle and the Houston Astros start a four-game set at the Lone Star State. They are meeting for the second time since returning from the All-Star break.
The Mariners are 10 games behind the Astros in the American League West. They are unlikely to catch up with Houston in the standings. However, Seattle currently holds second place in the Wild Card and is eyeing its first playoff spot since 2001.

Today’s pitchers are Logan Gilbert for the Mariners and Jose Urquidy for the Astros.
Gilbert has been phenomenal for Seattle and gets almost no love. He has a top 10 ERA in the American League and is currently seventh in odds of winning the AL Cy Young (+3000).
Urquidy is having a solid year for Houston. He comes into play today with a 3.93 ERA. Urquidy is 9-4 and the Astors are 12-6 in games he starts. Although he’s a great regular-season pitcher, he seems to be falling apart in the post-season.
