Blue Jays vs Mariners Prediction

The Blue Jays are 5-2 in their last 7 meetings against the Mariners, and have won their last 7 visits in Seattle. Over is 10-2 in their last 12 meetings.

In this Blue Jays vs Mariners Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. The Blue Jays won back-to-back games in Seattle to tie the series to 2-2, and today have the pitching advantage, as Gausman goes up against Bryce Miller. Miller was good in his two postseason starts for the Mariners, but he was terrible in the regular season, and in his previous home start against the Jays this season, he got torched for 7 earned runs. I don’t trust him to keep a red-hot Toronto squad at bay, so take the Toronto Blue Jays on the moneyline in this one.
