Mariners vs Blue Jays Prediction
The Blue Jays continue to run hot and cold until proven otherwise, and while Bieber is capable of above-average stuff, he has just 9 innings under his belt this season. Gilbert looks like he’s found his all-star form as he’s coming off a month of June where he allowed 19 hits and 10 runs in 31.2 innings. The Mariners are 6-1 in Gilbert’s last 7 starts. Gilbert has allowed 10 runs in his last 42.1 innings. I’m rolling with the Mariners and the reasonable price at home.
