PREVIEW
Not 7:00. Not 7:05. 7:07 Got that?
Toronto will play Seattle for the 2nd time in this series, having beaten them yesterday. The Blue Jays will send out ex-Mariner Brandon Morrow, who is 6-4 with a 4.37ERA. The right-handed pitcher was dealt to Toronto a season and a half ago with Brandon League going the other way.
Morrow will be keen to get one over on Seattle (not hard to do at the moment really) and brings great form into this match, going 4-0 in his last 6 starts. He allowed just 1 run in over 6 innings in his last start, against the Yankees. The Blue Jays romped home 7-1 winners.
The Mariners send out southpaw Jason Vargas to try and end their 10 game losing streak. He is 6-7 with a 3.68ERA and as you can probably guess, the poor bloke never gets any run support from the anaemic Seattle offence. It's led to a 1-3 run coming into this match and it's very likely he will not get much help from his bat-weilding teammates.
Vargas has a 2.70ERA in 2 starts against Toronto but I can see him getting hit a bit tonight. On the other hand, Morrow might very well blank Seattle.
