After having Friday off, the Astros and Mariners get Game 3 going this afternoon. It's been an exciting ALDS series already, with Houston taking Game 1 in walk-off fashion. They now have a 2-0 lead despite the Mariners having the lead in each of the first 2 games. They'll be up in Seattle for Game 3 and it's a much more evenly priced game. There's plenty of recent history to draw from between these teams, so let's break down the best plays for today.

Let's take a closer look at each leg of our same game parlay.
Under 7.5 total runs (-150)
Not only have oddsmakers priced this game as if it should be a close one, we feel the same way. Therefore, we're going to target the total instead. Although the series opener went over the total, that has not been the theme for the Astros this season. They proved that in Game 2 and that trend should continue. They've been the most dominant team in the AL this season by having an elite pitching staff, including the MLB's best bullpen.
