There was once value in watching the M’s line up against the Astros, but I can’t see it anymore. A day after a no-hitter started by Aaron Sanchez, 1-10 with an ERA over 7 coming into last night’s game, and the M’s will try to salvage a game against Justin Verlander. The whole thing now feels as rote and hopeless as the obligatory moment of silence that begins today’s contest.
