 The Astros took 18 of the 19 meetings with the Mariners last season, including each of the last 13 meetings -- and all 10 matchups in Houston. The Indians also went 18-1 over the Tigers last season -- prior to that, no team had won 18+ games against a single opponent since 1961 (Reds, 19-3 vs. Phillies).

 Houston enters the season having won 100+ games in each of the last three seasons, one of six teams in MLB history to accomplish the feat. No team has ever won 100+ games in four straight seasons, a record that will remain intact due to the shortened schedule.

 After going 89-73 (.549) in 2018, the Mariners finished at 68-94 (.420) in 2019 -- the second-largest decrease in win percentage over the last two seasons (Red Sox, .667 &#61664; .519). Seattle is seeking its first playoff berth since 2001 -- the club's 18-season drought is the longest active streak in the four major US leagues.

 Marco Gonzales has gone 0-4 with a 7.36 ERA in seven appearances (six starts) against the Astros, his worst ERA against any team he's faced multiple times. Astros hitters are slashing .346/.411/.520 against him in those seven games, but have only hit three home runs.

 Justin Verlander is slated to make his 12th career Opening Day start, which would rank fourth in American League history behind Jack Morris (14), Walter Johnson (14) and Roger Clemens (13). At 37 years, 155 days old, Verlander will be the oldest Astros Opening Day starter since Nolan Ryan opened the 1986 season at 39 years, 67 days.

 The Mariners have gone 26-17 (.605) all-time on Opening Day, the second best record among current franchises (Mets, .655). Meanwhile, the Astros have won seven straight season openers and look to be the first team to win eight straight since the Orioles did so from 2011-18. The Mariners won nine straight season openers from 2007-15.

Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker spoke on the need for different aspects of his club to perform well as to cover the uncertainty of a bullpen compromised by injury and reliant upon unproven arms.
Two games into this abbreviated regular season, Houston has flexed strong defense and lineup depth and breezed to a pair of victories over the visiting Seattle Mariners. In winning 7-2 on Saturday, the defense backed Lance McCullers early, while the offense mounted disciplined plate appearances in cobbling together a string of timely, run-scoring hits.

Loaded Astros look to stay perfect vs. M's

HOUSTON (AP) — Kyle Lewis hit a tiebreaking two-run single in the eighth inning to lift the Seattle Mariners over the Houston Astros 7-6 on Sunday, snapping a 15-game losing streak in the series.
The Mariners trailed by 1 entering the eighth before Shed Long Jr.'s run-scoring single tied it at 5 with one out.
