The Houston Astros just finished their final homestand of the season, going 1-5 versus the visiting Baltimore Orioles (1-2) and the Kansas City Royals (0-3). Now, with their season on the line, they’re visiting the similarly desperate Seattle Mariners in what is essentially a postseason series for the third and final wildcard spot.
The last time the Astros played the Mariners was a three-game home series in which Seattle won all three games, from August 18 through August 20. The Mariners have won eight times in 10 games versus Houston this season.
