Houston Astros

As the Houston Astros prepare to host the Seattle Mariners on September 19, 2025, this matchup is crucial for both teams, each sporting an 84-69 record. With the postseason approaching, both clubs are looking to solidify their positions in a competitive American League West. The Astros are projected to start Hunter Brown, who has been solid this season, boasting a 12-7 record and an impressive ERA of 2.27. However, his 3.23 xFIP suggests he may be due for some regression.

On the other side, the Mariners will counter with Bryan Woo, who has emerged as an elite pitcher, holding a 14-7 record and a 3.02 ERA. Woo’s ability to pitch deep into games, averaging 6.0 innings, could be key against an Astros offense that ranks 13th in MLB. While Houston has shown flashes of power, ranking 7th in team batting average, they struggle with home runs (17th) and have a particularly weak stolen base game (26th).

Interestingly, Hunter Brown’s high strikeout percentage (28.2 K%) could play to his advantage against the Mariners, who rank 6th in MLB for most strikeouts. This dynamic could lead to a low-scoring affair, as evidenced by the game total currently set at 7.5 runs.

In their last game, the Astros’ best hitter has been on a tear, recording a .429 batting average over the past week, which could provide a boost. However, the projections indicate that both teams may struggle to reach their implied team total of 3.75 runs. With both teams having solid pitching and the stakes high, this matchup promises to be tightly contested.

Seattle Mariners Insights

• Seattle Mariners – Moneyline (-110)
  The Seattle Mariners infield defense grades out as the 4th-weakest among every team today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Eugenio Suarez – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Extreme groundball bats like Eugenio Suarez tend to perform better against extreme flyball pitchers like Hunter Brown.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Seattle Mariners – 2H Moneyline
  The Seattle Mariners bullpen profiles as the 10th-worst in MLB, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Houston Astros Insights

• Hunter Brown – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)
  Given that groundball pitchers struggle the most against flyball hitters, Hunter Brown (48.7% GB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be a bit disadvantaged in this game with 3 FB hitters in Seattle’s projected batting order.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Jesus Sanchez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)
  Jesus Sanchez is projected to hit 8th on the lineup card in this game, which would be a downgrade from his 88% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• Isaac Paredes – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-185/+140)
  Isaac Paredes pulls many of his flyballs (46.9% — 100th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the game’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences in today’s game.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
