Mariners vs Astros Prediction & Pick
There's no denying that the Mariners have a "team of destiny" feel to them. After all, they overcame an 8-1 deficit in Game 2 of the Wild Card Round to secure a sweep on the road in Toronto.
With that being said, their thrilling run comes to a stop here. The Astros are simply too talented, have tons of postseason experience and will be well-rested. Houston had the second-lowest ERA in baseball (2.90) and finished eighth in runs scored, so this is an elite pitching staff backed by a potent offense.
The Mariners have plenty of spunk, but th e Astros have the championship pedigree.
Final Series Prediction:'Astros Win 3-2
