Toronto Blue Jays vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction

I’m on the under in this game. Yesavage and Hancock have been two solid options in their respective rotations, and these are two quality bullpens against two offensive units that continue to be hit or miss at the plate. I think this has the makings of a 3-2 or 4-3 kind of game, so give me the under here.
