His team lost their last 2 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 2 BB with 4 strikeouts on 2 hits through 6 innings played against the Boston Red Sox.

The current betting odds have the Blue Jays listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Blue Jays have been getting really hot in the final games of their season but the Mariners were also on a bit of a roll lately. Both teams have their ace pitchers in this game, the Mariners going with Luis Castillo while the Jays go with Alek Manoah. Both have been very good this season but Manoah has been slightly better with more wins, the better ERA, and he has been pitching a lot better over the last month than Castillo has been. Castillo has been good this year but he has actually struggled more since joining the Mariners compared to his days on the Reds earlier this season. Manoah always gives the Blue Jays their best chance to win games as he has been a stud since coming into the MLB last season, and his team will come to play for him here giving him plenty of run support. The Blue Jays have a very good lineup and they have one of the best offenses in the MLB this season. They have an advantage with their hitting in this game but they also have the better starter here and have been a way more dominant team at home all season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game.
