Probable Pitcher: Logan Gilbert (4-1, 2.13 ERA)
Gilbert will be on the mound in the 2nd game of the series for the Mariners. Gilbert allowed four earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out nine across five innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Phillies. He started one game against the Blue Jays last season and allowed 5 runs in 4 innings pitched.
Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays get here with a 19-17 record and have lost 6 of their last 8 games. The team is averaging 4.18 runs while allowing 3.4 runs per game. Vladimir Guerrero leads the team with .280 ERA, 20 RBI and 7 home runs.
Alek Manoah leads the team with a 1.71 ERA and 39 strikeouts recording 4 wins for the Jays.
Probable Pitcher:
Jose Berrios (2-2, 5.82 ERA) will be on the mound for the Blue Jays in the 2nd game of the series. Berrios was charged with the loss Wednesday against the Yankees after giving up five runs on five hits with four strikeouts and one walk across 5.1 innings. He allowed 2 runs across 5.1 innings in his last start against the Mariners.
BETTING TRENDS
Seattle are 5-14 SU in their last 19 games.
Seattle are 8-4 SU in their last 12 games against Toronto.
Seattle are 3-9 SU in their last 12 games on the road.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Toronto's last 6 games at home.
The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Toronto's last 11 games when playing at home against Seattle.
Prediction
Logan Gilbert has had 2 last bad starts but he'll be back to be good again. Jose Berrios has been up and down this season but the Blue Jays have won in 5 of his 7 starts. It's uncertain how both pitchers will be in this game so I'm going to trust in the best team overall here. Take the Blue Jays.
