The Mariners are currently favored with odds of -127 on the moneyline, a slight shift from their opening odds of -130.

On the other hand, the Astros, despite being underdogs with current odds of +107, have seen their odds improve slightly from an opening of +110. This indicates a belief among some bettors in their potential to upset.


The run line market also highlights interesting dynamics, with the Mariners given a -1.5 spread at +168 odds, adjusted from an opening of +165. The Astros face a 1.5 spread against them at -204 odds, showing a tightening from their initial -200.
