Preview
The Seattle Mariners and the Toronto Blue Jays will play the 3rd game of the series at the Rogers Centre on Wednesday night. The Blue Jays got the win on Tuesday to secure this series. José Berríos and two relievers combined on a six-hitter, George Springer provided all the offense with a bases-loaded triple and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners 3-0.
Seattle Mariners
The Mariners get here with a 16-21 record and have lost 3 of their last 5 games. The team is averaging 4.12 runs per game and allowing 4.1 runs. Ty France leads with 25 RBI and 5 home runs and batting for .331 avg.
Logan Gilbert leads the team with 4 wins and pitching for a 2.13 ERA and 42 strikeouts.
Probable Pitcher: Marco Gonzales (1-4, 3.38 ERA)
Gonzales will be on the mound in the 3rd game of the series for the Mariners. Gonzales didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 win over the Mets, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out five.
Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays get here with a 20-17 record and have won 3 of their last 4 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:
Kevin Gausman (3-2, 2.40 ERA) will be on the mound for the Blue Jays in the 3rd game of the series. Gausman took the loss Friday as the Blue Jays were downed 5-2 by the Rays, giving up four runs (three earned) on five hits and a walk over seven-plus innings. He struck out eight.
BETTING TRENDS
Seattle are 3-10 SU in their last 13 games on the road.
The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Seattle's last 12 games when playing on the road against Toronto.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Toronto's last 5 games.
Toronto are 3-6 SU in their last 9 games.
Prediction
The Mariners have been dominated by the Blue Jays pitchers on this series and it's going to be even more dificult agaisnt Gausman who's holding a 2.40 ERA. Marco Gonzales is a great pitcher but the Mariners offense don't help him to win the games so I expect another low scoring game and the under looks like a good play.
PICK: Under 8 (-110)
