Seattle Mariners vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

You can make a case for either the Mariners and Blue Jays as they’re enjoying a strong week. I lean toward the Mariners because Woo has been slightly sharper than Francis. Woo has allowed 14 hits and six runs in 19 innings while walking only four. Francis has allowed 11 hits and seven earned runs in 17 innings while walking seven. The Mariners have won 10 of their last 16 games with Woo on the mound. That extra-innings win over the Reds can also have a carry-over effect for the Mariners, as it's a shot in the arm in terms of confidence. Give me the Mariners.
