Why bet on the Toronto Blue Jays?

The Blue Jays closed a one-run win against the Oakland Athletics in their last contest. Bo Bichette was the man of the hour after breaking the deadlock with a solo home run in the eighth inning. Although the series ended 2-1 in favor of Oakland, it was a solid victory that will help Toronto build pace leading up to Thursday’s matchup.

Jose Berrios was the last man to headline for the Blue Jays, but right-hander Kevin Kausman is likely to miss his start. Toronto has not named a starting pitcher for the upcoming match. As a team, the Blue Jays’ pitching staff has a 4.08 ERA in 83 games. The pitching numbers are only good enough for a 20th-best finish in the league, which includes a 1.27 WHIP and .252 batting average against.

As for hitting, the Blue Jays find themselves in a better position with 386 runs in 726 hits. In the process, the team managed 108 home runs and recorded a .257 batting average and a .32b on-base percentage.

Why bet on the Seattle Mariners?

After a strong four-run win against the Padres in their recent game, the Mariners will challenge the Blue Jays with the help of their home crowd. In their previous game, Haggerty recorded three hits, while Dylan Moore doubled twice and rookie Julio Rodriguez was on fire with two singles to help score the victory. The series closed in a two-game sweep in favor of the Mariners.

The Mariners have Marco Gonzales at the forefront. He takes the starting pitcher role with a 4-9 record, 3.29 ERA, and 49 strikeouts this season. The 30-year-old records a .260 batting average and a .318 on-base percentage against the Blue Jays. However, Gonzales needs to improve his numbers moving forward. He only has four wins in six appearances and dropped four of his last five games in June. Last month, the man from Colorado averaged a 2.90 ERA in 31.0 innings pitched.

As for hitting, Seattle logs 333 runs in 650 hits with 86 homers. They record 318 RBIs on a .235 batting average and a .318 on-base percentage.

Blue Jays vs. Mariners Betting Prediction

The Blue Jays have been in a rut since its previous series, and not having a starting pitcher listed raises more questions. It doesn’t look good for the team right now. Meanwhile, the Mariners quietly make their way to the league frontrunners, and they’re a tough team to face right now. Marco Gonzales needs to pick up more pace but does the job of allowing just 30 hits and 12 runs in his last 37 innings. We might see Toronto in trouble if they fail to find a proper starting pitcher to face the hosts.
