With three consecutive losses against the Mariners, the Astros have sealed their fate in this series. They have no chance to win or tie this series. However, Joe Espada and his men would surely try to win this series finale to break free from their ongoing losing streak.
On the other hand, the Mariners will surely aim to win this final match of the four-game series to complete a clean sweep against the Astros. They have shown their capability of doing so in the three previous games of this series. The Mariers are going to be the favorites to win this one. However, given the resilience of the Astros as a team, they have the ability to bounce back and secure victory in this final game.
