What to know

  • Astros trail Rangers by one game in AL West race with six games remaining and must win nearly all to claim division title.
  • Houston has won only 2 of 11 matchups against eliminated Mariners this season, making Seattle a dangerous opponent despite playoff math working against them.
  • First half of critical road trip features two games at Seattle (Tuesday and Wednesday on ESPN) before four-game set against Athletics in Sacramento.

“Pretty much every game is viewed as a must-win for the Astros from now on to keep postseason hopes alive, and they must find success against a Mariners team that has given them a lot of trouble this year.”
