The Mariners are coming into this game with a 16-20 record overall and they are 7-13 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just won their 3-game series against the New York Mets 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Blue Jays on Wednesday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Wednesday with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday. Logan Gilbert is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while Marco Gonzales is on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 1-4 with a 3.38 ERA this season. His team lost 4 of their last 5 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 0 HRs, and 3 BB with 5 Ks on 5 hits in 6.2 IP against the New York Mets. 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 19-17 record overall and they are 11-6 in their home 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 lost their 3-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Mariners on Wednesday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Wednesday with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday. José Berríos is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while Kevin Gausman is on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 3-2 with a 2.40 ERA this season. His team won 4 of their last 5 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 earned runs, 0 homers, and 1 BB with 8 strikeouts on 5 hits in 7 innings played against the Tampa Bay Rays. 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 Blue Jays are coming into this game as a big favorite with the current betting odds. They have not been playing well recently finding themselves in a slump after a great start to their season but they won the first game of this series and are hoping to turn things around here at home. Their team has been getting much healthier now and they have one of their stud starters on the mound here in Kevin Gausman who has been having a great season and has been throwing some very good pitches in his starts. They are going up against a Mariners team that has not been playing well in their recent games either and they have Gonzales starting here who has not been awful this season but he has had a few bad starts and the team does not seem to have success with him either. The Blue Jays also have a little advantage here as the Mariners had to leave some players behind in their travel to Canada so the Blue Jays have a much stronger lineup here over the mariners than they normally would. There is no reason that the Jays should lose this game with Gausman pitching the way he has been and the team getting healthier. The best bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game on the runline.
