Postseason baseball will return to Seattle on Saturday. The Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros continue their ALDS matchup with Game 3 at T-Mobile Park. The Astros won Games 1 and 2 and hold a commanding 2-0 series lead. One more win and Houston will return to the ALCS for the sixth consecutive season.
The last postseason game in Seattle was Game 2 of the 2001 ALCS. The Mariners lost that game, 3-2, to the New York Yankees. Hall of Famer Mike Mussina started for New York, and Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera closed the game out. Yeah, it's been a while since they played October baseball in the Pacific Northwest.

How to watch
Date: Saturday, Oct. 15 | Time: 4:07 p.m. ET
Location: T-Mobile Park (Seattle, Washington)
TV channel: TBS | Live stream: TBS app
Odds: HOU -110; SEA -110; O/U: 7 (via Caesars Sportsbook)
Starting pitchers: RHP George Kirby (8-5, 3.39 ERA) vs. RHP Lance McCullers Jr. (4-2, 2.27 ERA)
Preview
This has been the Yordan Alvarez series. Alvarez clubbed the titanic walk-off three-run home run in Game 1, then the game-winning two-run home run in Game 2. Yordan is going to get his, but Seattle has done a poor job keeping No. 2 hitter Jeremy Peña off base in front of him -- Peña has a .444 on-base percentage in the series -- and that's compounding the problem. Kirby labored a bit down the stretch but did close out the Wild Card Series clinching Game 2 win in Toronto last week. The Mariners will give the rookie right-hander the ball with their season on the line.
Prediction
You have to play near flawless baseball to beat the Astros. Anything can happen in a short postseason series, sure, but Houston is so good that I have a hard time picking against them. Kirby vs. McCullers feels like a massive pitching mismatch, nevermind the Alvarez factor. Sorry, Seattle fans.
Pick: Astros 6, Mariners 2
