Mariners Game Today: Astros at Mariners Lineup, Odds, Prediction, Pick, Pitcher, TV Channel for April 15th

The Mariners are back in Seattle, and are set to quick off their home opener this year against the Houston Astros. The Astros have long been the top dog in the division, but the M’s are standing there, knocking at the door and ready to take over. Being ready is one thing, but proving it is a whole other ballgame.

Make sure to follow alongside the Sodo Mojo Twitter during this series, as we’ve got members of our team there at a couple of games this weekend!

Let’s get to the odds, predictions, and lineups. Here we go!

Mariners Pitcher Today: Marco Gonzales

Marco Gonzales gets the nod for the home opener. It does seem like Servais was going to put him wherever it took in the rotation to get him to fall into this spot. He’d been the Mariners #1 for quite a few years, but it’s unlikely to ever be the case again. This seems like a nice way to reward Marco for his commitment to the organization,

Now, let’s just hope the start is very boring.

Mariners Starting Lineup

It’s the standard Mariners lineup that you would be wanting to see for opening night in Seattle. Murphy is behind the plate for Marco, with Kelenic at DH. Crawford sticks at 5 as Servais tries to find the best spot in the lineup for him. Frazier doesn’t have the same average as Crawford this year so far, but he has been hitting the ball hard still.

Astros vs Mariners Prediction Today

I really want to say the Mariners win their opener. The bats were starting to pick up, and actually weren’t even that bad in the second game of the series against the White Sox.

I’m going for it. The M’s are gonna win 6-5 tonight. It’s gonna be a game where they keep getting up by 2 or 3, then Houston pulls to within 1 or even ties. A 2-run double by France late puts them up 6-4, and Steckenrider pitches a wild 9th, gives up a run, but ultimately shuts the door and gets the M’s back to .500.

Oh, one other thing happens…

M’s or Astros? Who do you think is going to win the first game of the series? The Mariners are trying to dethrone the AL West champs, and it’s been a long time coming. A long season is ahead of us still, but getting an early series win would be huge. As always… Go M’s!
