These teams are moving--fast--in opposite directions, with the Astros now amazingly pulling clear in first place in the AL West after sitting at 12-24 into early May. All after another Houston win last night at T-Mobile by a 4-2 count, the latest in a string of ineptness by the Seattle offense that's scored just 10 runs across the current five-game losing streak. The Mariners' Bryan Woo is also not pitching as he did into early June, with a 6.97 ERA across his last three starts, while Roniel Blanco has assumed the ace mantle for the Astros staff and still effective into late July, with a 2.89 ERA in three starts this month.
