Play: Houston/Seattle over 7 +113 (Tropeano vs. Iwakuma)
Time: 10:10 p.m. ET
Reasoning: Hisashi Iwakuma is having a great season, but he has been horrendous of late. He has a 7.24 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP in his last three starts. And he has a 4.12 ERA in three starts against the Astros this year. Jose Altuve, who leads the majors in batting (.336 avg), is 8-for-19 lifetime against Iwakuma, and SS Marwin Gonzalez (7-for-12) is even better. For Houston, whose games average 8.49 runs both home and away, Nick Tropeano will take the ball. The fifth-round pick in the 2011 draft will make his major-league debut, and because of that I expect the Mariners to get into the Astros bullpen. And Houston's relievers are atrocious (4.91 ERA). Calling the game tonight will be umpire Pat Hoberg, and his 29 games this season have averaged 9.00 runs.
Record: 187-135-7 (58.1%)
