The current betting odds have not been listed yet for this game. The Blue Jays have not been playing well recently as their bullpen has been stretched very thin and with all of the injuries to their starters now, they are running out of options for pitching. They will be hungry to bounce back though as they still have one of the best offenses in the MLB and have a very good lineup that can score runs. They will have a better chance to take this game against a hot Mariners team as the Jays have their ace starting here in Manoah. He is coming off of a bad start in Oakland in his last appearance but that was his worst start of the season, only allowing 4 runs in that start, and he has not been nearly as bad in any other starts this season. He has dominated since coming into the MLB last season and he has not really skipped any beats as he has been good and very consistent in his starts. He will offer the Jays a very good chance here by pitching deep into this game and taking stress off of their bullpen. The Mariners are starting Ray here and he will be eager to pitch well at home here against his old team from last season but he has also not been great this season and throughout his career so it will be tough for him to shut down a very good Jays lineup here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blue Jays to win as this is a good bounce back spot for them.
