Astros 6, Mariners 3
Money line(ML)
The ASTROS (-175) are a little on the expensive side, but play them against the Mariners (+140) and Gilbert. The latter was absolutely hammered last time he worked at Minute Maid Park in Houston. Expect more of the same.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
ASTROS -1.5 (+120) easily cashed the run line in Monday's 11-2 series opener win. Three of the past four victories for Houston have been by two or more runs. Houston is also 6-2 in eight home games against Seattle this season, and each victory has been by two or more runs, too.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 8.5 (-130) is worth playing lightly. The Over has connected in each of the past four meetings between these teams at Minute Maid Park. The Over is also 5-1 in the past six road games for the M's against a right-handed starting pitcher, and the Over is a perfect 6-0 in the past six at home for the Astros against teams with a winning overall mark.
