Blue Jays vs Mariners Prediction
The Mariners continue to underachieve, and now they’re throwing out Anderson, who has just 5.2 career innings under his belt. Not ideal with playoff hopes slipping through the fingers. The Blue Jays are playing improved baseball down the stretch and getting back in the wild card conversation. Soriano has been solid this season overall with a 3.43 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. The Jays are 3-1 with Soriano on the mound since coming over from the Angels. I’m just getting better vibes from the Blue Jays as we head into the final month of the season. I’ll lay the soft price with the home team.
