(915) Houston Astros at (916) Seattle Mariners: Moneyline
9:40pm EDT - Apr 11/2026

THE PLAY: Seattle Mariners -146 Lance McCullers Jr. (RHP), Luis Castillo (RHP) Must Start

Seattle starter Luis Castillo projects to give up 2.1 runs with a 3.26 ERA and 1.09 WHIP.  Houston’s lineup has hit just .243 (37-152) with a weak .610 OPS against Castillo in his career.  The Astros will start Lance McCullers Jr.  The righty projects to give up 2.8 earned runs with a 4.32 ERA and 1.46 WHIP.  With the starting pitching clearly in Seattle’s favor, look for the Mariners to get a solid home win on Saturday night.
