Mariners at Blue Jays picks and predictions
Prediction
Blue Jays 4, Mariners 3
Moneyline
BET BLUE JAYS (-110).
Expect the Blue Jays to complete the sweep Wednesday against a Mariners team that has lost 6 of its last 7 games. Seattle has scored 4 or fewer runs in 5 of its last 7 games while giving up at least 5 in 7 of its last 9.
Toronto has scored 5 or more runs in 3 of its last 4 games while giving up just 5 runs combined in the 1st 2 games of this series.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
The value is better on the Blue Jays to win outright.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 8 (+100).
The Under has hit in each of the 2 previous games in this series. The Mariners have scored 4 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 9 games, while the Blue Jays have scored 3 or fewer in 6 of their last 10.
With 2 top pitchers taking the mound Wednesday, expect both offenses to have a tough time scoring, allowing the Under to hit.
