Blue Jays vs Mariners Prediction & Pick
The Blue Jays have been struggling to beat the Mariners in recent history, but a strong start from Kevin Gausman could change that. Not only has he pitched to a respectable 2.79 ERA in his last five starts, but he's 1-0 with a 2.35 ERA in his previous three trips to T-Mobile Park.
Gausman must remain sharp if he hopes to outduel the Mariners' Logan Gilbert. The 26-year-old righty was victorious in each of his last three starts, tallying a 1.29 ERA with 18 strikes over 21 innings along the way. Having said that, Gilbe rt is only 2-4 with a 4.21 ERA at home this season.
Although life has been tough for them, I see the Blue Jays snapping out of their funk tonight. Gausman is playing excellently and knows how to get the job done in Seattle. If the Jays' bats can get to Gilbert early, victory will be theirs.
Final Score Prediction:'Blue Jays: 4 | Mariners: 2
Blue Jays vs Mariners Best Bet
I don't anticipate seeing a high-scoring affair tonight. The Under is 9-4 in the Blue Jays' 13 previous games while being 9-5 in the Mariners' last 14. On top of that, nine of the last 13 Toronto-Seattle matchups failed to surpass their projected total, averaging just 7.8 runs along the way.
In other words, backing the Under on the 7.5-run total is the way to go.
