SEATTLE MARINERS
The Mariners come into this having won just 8 of their last 27. 4 of those wins have come when playing their best pitcher, Felix Hernandez. He's not pitching today. What odds do you give them to win here on the road?
Seattle has lost 25 of the last 34 meetings with Toronto and will now send Luke French to the mound. In his last match, against Boston, he was hit for 2 home runs, giving up 4 earned runs. He is also weak on the road, going 1-4 when away, with a 5.67ERA.
TORONTO BLUE JAYS
Toronto got swept by the Orioles but bounced back to win the three game series against Boston 2-1. Now they are back home, and will be looking to continue this resurgence. They have a 39-33 record at home and will start Mark Rzepczynski tonight.
Rzepczynski has met the Mariners on 1 occasion, last year, losing 4-3. He hasn't been great but comes into this on plenty of rest, and is at an advantage seeing as they Mariners haven't faced him for a while, and of course Seattle don't do too well with offence anyway!
BETTING VERDICT
The Mariners did well against the Texas Rangers (but then so have a few other teams recently), so perhaps will suffer a hangover from that series. The journey too will affect them on top of the celebrations. Take a small piece of Toronto at home, where they do most of their big scoring!
The Pick :
Toronto to win
BEST BETTING TIP :
Toronto Blue Jays @ 1.67 (Pinnacle)
