Toronto Blue Jays vs Seattle Mariners Preview and Analysis

 
The Blue Jays enter this game on a 2 game losing streak. They lost their last series against the Oakland Athletics 2-1 in a 3-game series. They enter this game with a 45-40 record overall and have a road record of 20-22. This is the series finale of a 4-game series with the Mariners on Sunday with the 3rd game still to be played on Saturday. Their offense ranks 5th in the MLB with a .755 OPS. Alek Manoah is the starting pitcher on Saturday while there is no probable pitcher yet making a start in this game on Sunday. The Blue Jays have been dealing with a lot of injuries to their starters and relievers recently so this will either have to be a bullpen game for them and they will have to make a call to the minors. 
 
The Mariners enter this game on a 6 game winning streak. They won their last series against the San Diego Padres 2-0 completing the sweep in a 2-game series and then had Wednesday off as a rest day. They enter this game with a 43-42 record overall and have a home record of 22-20. This is the 4th game of a 4-game series with the Blue Jays on Sunday with the 3rd game still to be played on Saturday. Their offense ranks 15th in the MLB with a .705 OPS. Robbie Ray is on the mound on Saturday while Chris Flexen will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Sunday. He is 5-8 with a 4.00 ERA this season. His team won their last 3 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 3 BB with 8 Ks on 4 hits through 6.2 IP against the San Diego Padres. 

 

Blue Jays vs Mariners Prediction

The current betting odds have not been listed for this game yet. The Mariners have been very hot coming into this series, they have won 9 of their last 10 games and have been scoring a lot of runs. They have Flexen starting in this game and he has not been good this season but he has been pitching much better in his recent starts and will likely stay on that path here. The Jays have not announced a starter yet for this game as their bullpen is spent and their starters are dealing with injuries. The Mariners have been playing great recently and they have even been missing a lot of key pieces in their lineup that they should be getting back soon. The Mariners will continue to roll here as the Jays are in the middle of a slump right now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.
 
Blue Jays Mariners Prediction:  Our MLB Pick for Sunday, July 10, 2022 (4:10 pm ET start time) is Mariners 6 Blue Jays 5.
