In this Mariners vs Blue Jays Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -135 road favorites. I like the Mariners in a bounce-back spot today, as they have a big pitching edge with Logan Gilbert going up against Max Scherzer. Gilbert has been excellent this season and even better on the road with a 2.49 ERA, while Scherzer was playing very well after his injury but has given up 9 runs in his last two starts and sits on a 1-6 record and 7.59 ERA at home this season. Take the Mariners to win this one on the road.
