Mariners vs Blue Jays Prediction

The Blue Jays are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings against the Mariners and have won their last three meetings in Toronto.

In this Mariners vs Blue Jays Prediction, the Dodgers are coming as -122 road favorites. I like the Jays in a very nice price at home with Jose Soriano, who prior to his last two bad starts, had given up just two runs in his previous three starts combined. He is the far better pitching option than the inexperienced Kade Anderson, who will play his just second MLB game today and looked shaky in his first start. On top of that, the Mariners’ bullpen has been in very bad shape lately and the Jays bats have been in better form. Take the Blue Jays in this one.
