Key Stats
Toronto Blue Jays
Chris Bassitt(RHP) will get the start for the Blue Jays in today’s game. Bassitt has started the season 0-2 with a 7.71 ERA and has struck out nine batters. Justin Turner leads the team with a .290 batting average, nine hits, and an OBP of .410. George Springer has hit a team-high two home runs, while Alejandro Kirk has collected seven RBIs.
Seattle Mariners
The Mariners are expected to start George Kirby(RHP) for today’s game. Kirby has started the season 1-1 with a 5.23 ERA and 10 strikeouts. Mitch Haniger leads the team with a .257 batting average and an OBP of .333. J.P. Crawford has hit a team-high home runs, Dominic Canzone has tallied five RBIs, and Ty France has recorded 11 hits.
Game Prediction
Both of these teams have been inconsistent this year, and it is hard to trust either one. The Mariners have a decisive pitching advantage with Geroge Kirby on the mound. He is liable to go five to six innings and make things difficult for Toronto’s lineup. While the Mariners have not been impressive offensively, Chris Bassitt will give them ample opportunities to produce enough runs to get the win. Back Seattle in this one to get the win and tie the series 1-1.
Final Pick
Seattle Mariners ML (-105)
