Seattle Mariners vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction 

Seattle comes into this matchup with a great home record on the season and they have led the AL West for a while, but their lead is down to just two games. The Mariners have had some issues recently, which has allowed Houston to get back into the mix. Toronto is last in the AL East and they are just 19-25 on the road. The Blue Jays are starting Berrios, who has not been good recently. The Mariners are going with Kirby, who is one of the hottest pitchers in the MLB right now. Seattle has been dominant at home this year and I love how Kirby is pitching, so my Seattle Mariners vs Toronto Blue Jays prediction is for the Mariners to win.
