Houston Astros vs Seattle Mariners — Abr 11, 2026 | Predicción IA y estadísticas

Emerson Hancock continues his sharp start, commanding the zone through six innings and limiting the Astros to a pair of runs. He mixes his power sinker and changeup effectively, but Yordan Alvarez ambushes a 3-1 heater for a solo shot in the sixth. Houston’s lineup, anchored by Alvarez, Altuve and the red-hot Christian Walker, grinds out long at-bats early and pushes across a first run in the third on back-to-back doubles. The Astros tack on two insurance runs in the seventh when the Mariners turn to the middle relief corps; Jeremy Peña’s two-out, two-run single against Gabe Speier proves decisive. Seattle’s offense remains inconsistent but shows life against a wobbly Astros bullpen. Cole Young’s opposite-field homer in the fifth gets them on the board, and Randy Arozarena sparks an eighth-inning rally with a stolen base and an RBI double. Julio Rodríguez chops an RBI single through the right side in the ninth, trimming the deficit to one, but closer Bryan Abreu misses barrels with late-life sliders to strand the tying run at second. Key factors: • Houston’s elite top-of-the-order patience forces Hancock’s pitch count up, hastening the move to the bullpen. • The Mariners’ bats are still scuffling—Rodríguez and Naylor enter the game hitting under .150—and they can’t fully capitalize on traffic against Houston’s relievers. • Seattle’s defense, already stretched thin with Victor Robles on the IL, allows an extra 90 feet twice, setting up Houston’s seventh-inning breakthrough. Result: Astros edge the Mariners 4-3, tightening the AL West race while Seattle’s skid extends to six.
