Rodriguez’s Mariners for The Comeback 

The Mariners are now looking for their fourth straight win. The team completed a successful series against the Texas Rangers with three consecutive wins that allowed them to recover from their previous series. 

However, that previous series was against the Astros. The Mariners could not surpass Houston in three games that finished in favor of the Texas team. Now, revenge is all the Mariners can think of as they attempt to push themselves to the top of the standings. 

For the Mariners, Julio Rodriguez remains one of the most important offensive players on the field. Rodriguez leads Seattle with 18 home runs and 56 runs batted in.   

Alvarez’s Astros After a Quick Recovery 

If outcomes had the expected results, the Astros would stand as the top league’s top team today. For Houston, three straight losses against the Oakland Athletics would have been an unthinkable scenario just a few days ago. 

If the Astros had succeeded in their series against the A’s, they would probably be the top team in the league. However, with the Yankees’ sudden fall against the Mets, the Astros cannot let up at this stage of the race. 

For the Astros, Yordan Alvarez has remained the most important player on the offensive front. Alvarez is now standing with a .309 batting average, 29 home runs, and 67 runs batted in.
