Houston Astros vs. Seattle Mariners Preview and Predictions 07-31-2018 in MLB

Astros vs. Mariners Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/31/2018

The Houston Astros are in a major tailspin and the host Seattle Mariners look to gain more ground on the American League West leaders when they meet on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game set. Seattle allowed just four singles in Monday's series-opening 2-0 victory to pull within three games of Houston, which has dropped a season-high five straight contests.

The Astros have been outscored 27-10 during their slide and the last four setbacks have come without All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve (knee), who currently is on the disabled list. Marwin Gonzalez is in a funk, going hitless in 12 at-bats during the Astros' skid. Seattle slugger Nelson Cruz delivered a two-run double on Monday and is 6-for-16 with three homers and six RBIs over his last four games. Edwin Diaz, the major-league leader in saves, worked a flawless ninth inning for the Mariners to become the fourth player in franchise history to register a 40-save season.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, AT&T SportsNet-Southwest (Houston), ROOT Northwest (Seattle)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Astros RH Charlie Morton (11-2, 2.89 ERA) vs. Mariners RH Mike Leake (8-6, 4.15)

Morton is 1-1 with a 4.37 ERA in four starts this month after winning 10 of his first 11 decisions. The 34-year-old has registered 10 or more strikeouts on six occasions and his total of 151 is just 12 shy of the career high he set last season. Morton defeated Seattle on April 19, when he gave up three hits over seven scoreless innings, and is 2-2 with a 2.93 ERA in five career meetings.

Leake is winless over his last five starts, going 0-2 with a 4.28 ERA during the drought. The 30-year-old has been up-and-down at pitcher-friendly Safeco Field, compiling a 3-4 record and 4.30 ERA in 11 turns. Leake gave up five runs and seven hits over six innings in a loss on April 18 as he fell to 6-5 with a 3.65 ERA in 13 career appearances (11 starts) against the Astros.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Astros acquired RHP Roberto Osuna, who currently serving a 75-game suspension for domestic violence, from Toronto for RHPs Ken Giles, David Paulino and Hector Perez.

2. Seattle acquired LHP Zach Duke and cash from Minnesota for RHP Chase De Jong and INF Ryan Costello), obtained RHP Adam Warren from the New York Yankees for $1.25 million in international slot money, placed 3B Kyle Seager on the paternity list, optioned 1B Daniel Vogelbach to Triple-A Tacoma, recalled INF Zach Vincej from the same affiliate, designated INF Gordon Beckham for assignment and activated LHP James Paxton (back) - who pitched seven scoreless innings on Monday - from the DL.

3. Houston SS Carlos Correa (back) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment later this week.

PREDICTION: Astros 4, Mariners 3

The Walker Group Picks

# 7 WILD HONEY 7/2

# 5 SPANISH BLESSING 3/1

# 3 SPEED TO RUSH 2/1

WILD HONEY has a formidable shot to take this race. Has performed well lately in sprint races, posting a nifty 57 avg speed rating. She looks strong in this spot and I expect will be on the lead or close at the midpoint. Is difficult not to look at based on Equibase Speed Figures which have been competitive - 50 avg - of late. SPANISH BLESSING - Has competitive Equibase Speed Figures and has to be considered for a bet in this event. Looks solid against this group of horses and will almost certainly be one of the leaders. SPEED TO RUSH - Johnston has one of the best winning percentages in this group with entries running at this distance and surface.

Louisiana Downs - Race #7 - Post: 6:05pm - Maiden Claiming - 7.5 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $7,500 Class Rating: 59

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#3 LA FLOR (ML=5/2)
#1 SILENT SMOKE (ML=30/1)

LA FLOR - The jock and conditioner combination here have a high win pct when they combine forces. Just see her latest fig, 57. That one fits well in this group. May be extremely hard to beat this thoroughbred on the grass today. Last time around the track scored a nice turf number, the highest of any of these animals. SILENT SMOKE - Vincent has this filly signed up for the ideal event.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 SHE'S TOO COOL (ML=2/1), #11 LIL MONEY (ML=5/2), #9 ZIPITUPMYSISTER (ML=7/2),

SHE'S TOO COOL - This chalk horse may be out of shape without any recent morning activity. This animal doesn't have a tenacious character. Often finishes in the place or show hole. LIL MONEY - Tough to take this runner at these odds after the result (fifth) in the last event. ZIPITUPMYSISTER - Didn't land in the money on May 15th at Louisiana Downs. Followed it up with another lackluster try.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Bet on #3 LA FLOR to win if you can get at least 7/5 odds

# 2 HIPARKO 8/1

# 7 PREACHER'S GIFT 3/1

# 8 TRY ME AGAIN 8/5

HIPARKO is my pick and the potential return justifies the dangerous nature of the long odds. It's a good signal that Spiess is using Oliveros on this horse. PREACHER'S GIFT - Has been running soundly lately and ought to be on the front end early on. Must be given a chance based on the very good Equibase Speed Figure recorded in the last race. TRY ME AGAIN - Has to be given a chance versus this field displaying solid figs lately and an average speed figure of 67 under similar conditions. Wagerers should take a good look at this one as this gelding has one of the best win percentages at this distance in this group.

Presque Isle Downs - Race #7 - Post: 7:55pm - Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $18,500 Class Rating: 82

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#6 COGNAC CUTIE (ML=6/1)
#2 PURSUIT OF LUTE (ML=4/1)
#4 JUST TOO MUCH (ML=12/1)
#5 UNFLINCHING (ML=5/2)

COGNAC CUTIE - When Rohena and Englehart partner up on horses the win percentage has been tremendous at 30. Rohena was aboard this mare last time out and was impressed enough to take the horse right back. PURSUIT OF LUTE - You always have to be on the watch for revenue generating jockey/handler teams; we have it right here. Have to give this filly a chance. Ran a solid race last time around the track within the last month. Looking at this filly's running lines, I see she's almost always in the top three. Filly is a few starts into a return here. Should give a big race today. Multiple wins in this horse's life, all at Presque Isle Downs. Could add another win in today's race. JUST TOO MUCH - Always be wary of the longer priced horse when a trainer has an 'uncoupled' entry in a race. Was in a $25,000 Claiming race at Presque Isle Downs last out. That clash had a class figure of 92 and she is moving down right here in this race. A certain solid contender. UNFLINCHING - Running over a familiar track, where she has won multiple times before, I have to put this horse at the top of my list of strong contenders. A thoroughbred coming back this rapidly after a solid contest is a good signal. Another way to judge class is earnings per race entered. This entrant has the highest in the bunch. I think she'll be close at the finish line.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 GET SASSY (ML=2/1), #3 PRETTY SURPRISE (ML=8/1),

GET SASSY - Showed very little in the last contest. Really don't see any hint of any improvement today. A pattern of declining speed figs 83/78/73 for this pony. Pedestrian speed rating in the last race at Presque Isle Downs at 1 mile 70 yards. Don't feel this mount will improve too much today. PRETTY SURPRISE - Tough to put any money on this mare on the front end. Likes to land in the money though.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:
#6 COGNAC CUTIE is going to be the play if we are getting 9/2 or better

Best and worst MLB starting pitchers to bet on in August
Marc Lawrence

Since being traded away from Baltimore, this is the time of year Jake Arrieta is at his best. He might not throw as hard as he used to, but he still knows how to get hitter's out.

With the MLB trading deadline closed, and the NFL preseason whetting our pigskin palates, the month of August sets the table for the stretch run of the baseball season. The question is which pitchers can we count on to satisfy our tastes, and which ones figure to sour our stomachs? Take a look below.

Listed below are hurlers that have enjoyed a two-to-one or better success ratio in team-starts over the course of the last three seasons during the month of August. On the flip side, we've also listed pitchers that struggle in August, winning 33% percent or less of their team-start efforts. To qualify, pitchers must have made a minimum of 10 starts, with at least one start each August over the last three years. And for your convenience alongside each record we break down each pitcher’s greatest success or greatest failure rate either home (H) or away (A) within his good or bad month.

Note: * designates a categorical repeat appearance by this pitcher, maintaining status quo from last season’s August list.

I’ll be back next month with September’s Good Month Pitchers. Until then, make like legendary singer and songwriter Neil Diamond and enjoy the hot August nights.

GOOD MONTH PITCHERS

* Jake Arrieta, Philadelphia Phillies • 15-2 (8-1 A)

Since being traded away from Baltimore, this is the time of year Jake Arrieta is at his best. He might not throw as hard as he used to, but he still knows how to get hitter's out. He, along with Aaron Nola, will keep Philadelphia in the hunt for an NL East title. After giving up 23 homers last year, Arrieta has done a much better job keeping the ball in the yard with just 11 HRs allowed this season.

Bartolo Colon, Texas Rangers • 13-5 (7-2 A)

Though Colon has enjoyed success in August, he was not 45 years old, playing in a small ballpark like Texas and on a bad team. It would be great to see him finish with a flourish, but the fact remains the Rangers are so pitching deficient, they have to depend on the veteran. Amazingly, Colon has played in the majors the same number of years the Braves Ronald Acuna Jr, has been alive (20).

Danny Duffy, Kansas City Royals • 11-5 (7-1 H)

After a slow start, the K.C. lefthander had 2.89 ERA in May and June, But July rolled around and Duffy regressed and his ERA is approaching 5.00 again. His command has been awful, already with a career-high in walks for the season and on pace to match or surpass the 27 home runs he conceded two years ago. With this Royals team I do expect this month to be like those of the past for Duffy.

* Corey Kluber, Cleveland Indians • 14-4 (8-1 H)

The Cleveland right-hander has been very good, but not quite as good as 2014 and 2017 when he won Cy Young's. The biggest reason why is a balky right knee, which has caused him to leave more pitches up than usual and is why he's already very close to a career-high in home runs allowed with two months remaining. Nevertheless, he is still one the best hurlers in baseball and with his experience and the Indians having a mostly favorable slate this month, the winning should continue.

Rick Porcello, Boston Red Sox • 10-3 (6-1 H)

To this point, Rick Porcello's season has been a great deal like previous two. In 2016, Porcello won the Cy Young and was 22-4. Last year, the right-hander was completely the opposite and lost 17 games. This season he's 13-4 and often pitched like he did two seasons ago. But he's also left reminders of how bad he can be with a few incredibly bad performances this year. Expect Porcello to have a fine August, just keep in mind a stinker might also be included.

BAD MONTH PITCHERS

James Shields, Chicago White Sox • 5-12 (2-6 H)

It is really a shame to watch Shields end his career this way. The 36-year is on a team in the midst of rebuilding and at this point of his career he no longer has the needed separation in speed between his pitches to make his once feared change-up effective. Add in he's gone from 3-to-1 K/W ratio to 2-to-1 and it's not hard to imagine he and White Sox will keep losing games.

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Jameson Taillon, Pittsburgh Pirates (7-8, 3.73 ERA, $100)

Hitting has made up a lot of the talk when it comes to the Pirates recent surge, but the pitching staff is doing their part as well. None more than big right-hander Jameson Taillon.

The 27-year-old has been dynamite over his last three starts, pitching to a 1.96 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP, while striking out 21 batters, compared to just four walks. Taillon hopes he can keep the Pirates rolling when they host the Cubs tonight. Pittsburgh is a slight -109 favorite.

Slumping: Steven Matz, New York Mets (5-8, 3.79 ERA, $202)

It's sounding like the Mets Big 3 starting pitchers aren't going anywhere today, in Matz case maybe it's because he's done nothing to help his trade value recently. Matz has a 6.23 ERA with a 1.44 WHIP over his last three starts. The lefty and the Mets are currently moderate +160 road underdogs for today's matchup against the Nationals.

Big Sexy Consistency

Bartolo Colon takes the mound for Texas tonight and the ageless wonder has been the model of consistency this season, but that hasn’t meant good things for Rangers fans. The veteran right-hander has given three or more runs in 10 of his last 12 starts. In each those 12 starts he’s allowed at least five hits and seven or more in 10 of those 12 contests.

Take a hard look at the Diamondbacks Over 8.5 hits (-135) tonight.

Birds Flying Over The Bay

The Blue Jays visit the A's in a matchup of teams taking an opposite approach to the deadline. The Jays are focusing on the future and unloading their tradeable assets, while the A's are making the push for the playoffs.

Besides a bit of a power outage in Colorado of all places the A's bats have been hot since the All-Star break and resumed that in Monday's 10-1 win in the series opener and get to face Sam Gaviglio in Game 2. The right-hander seems to be hitting a rookie wall according to his 7.13 ERA in his last four starts. Plus, the Jays bullpen is in shambles as they trade off their relievers and it could be worse by tonight. Toronto can also hit a bit. The Over 8.5 is worth a look.

Full Nelson

The Phillies and Red Sox continue their battle of division leaders at Fenway Park tonight and starters Jake Arrieta and Drew Pomeranz may get a hand from the man behind the plate. That man is Jeff Nelson and the Under is 12-3 in the last 15 games he has been calling balls and strikes.

Nelson has seen a total of just 6.89 total runs scored per game and has a strike rate pf 62.9 percent in 2018. With at least one very good pitcher on the mound, the Under 10 has some value here.
