The Mariners are coming into this game with a 16-19 record overall and they are 7-12 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a win in their last game. They just won their 3-game series against the New York Mets 2-1 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Blue Jays on Tuesday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday with the series opener still to be played on Monday. Chris Flexen is the starting pitcher for them on Monday while Logan Gilbert is on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 4-1 with a 2.13 ERA this season. His team lost their last 2 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 4 ER, 1 HR, and 3 BB with 9 Ks on 3 hits in 5 IP against the Philadelphia Phillies. They scored 14 runs in their last series averaging just over 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 13 runs against them averaging just over 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Blue Jays are coming into this game with a 18-17 record overall and they are 10-6 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 6 of their last 7 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just lost their 3-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Mariners on Tuesday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday with the series opener still to be played on Monday. Yusei Kikuchi is the starting pitcher for them on Monday while José Berríos is on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 2-2 with a 5.82 ERA this season. His team lost their last 2 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 5 earned runs, 1 homer, and 1 BB with 4 strikeouts on 5 hits in 5.1 innings played against the New York Yankees. They scored 7 runs in their last series averaging just over 2 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 9 runs against them averaging 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Mariners are coming into this game as a slight underdog with the current betting odds. They have been in a little slump recently but they just won their last series against a very good Mets team and will be looking to build on that as they hunt for more wins here on their road trip. They have one of their best pitchers starting in this game in Gilbert and he has been solid all season for them, leading their starters in wins this season. The Mariners have also been hitting the ball well again and they are going up against a Blue Jays team that has been struggling recently and has a big problem with batting while runners are in scoring position. The Blue Jays also have Berrios starting here and he was good to start the season but he has had a few rocky starts now including his last 2 straight where he gave up at least 5 runs in both. The Mariners are hitting well right now and will find ways to score on Berrios with the way he has been pitching. Gilbert will also make it hard on the Blue Jays to score here so this is setting up nicely for a Mariners upset. The best bet in this game is on the Mariners to win here.
