The Mariners are entering this series off of a win and split their 4-game series against the Minnesota Twins 2-2 in their last series. They enter this game with a 49-48 record overall and have a home record of 28-24. This is the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Blue Jays on Sunday with the 2nd game of this series still to be played on Saturday. They also won the 1st game of this series on Friday.

He is 1-2 with a 4.74 ERA this season. His team lost their last 2 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 6 earned runs, 2 homers, and 3 BB with 4 strikeouts on 8 hits through 3.1 innings played against the Minnesota Twins.

The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mariners have been playing a lot better in their games lately with their offense putting up more runs now and that will help out a lot since the Blue Jays have a really good offense but have also been really up and down with their offense all year. The Blue Jays also have Manoah starting in this game and he has been terrible all season. Manoah was great in his first 2 seasons of being in the MLB but this has been his worst season by far with the number of runs he has been giving up in his starts. He did pitch better in his 1st start back from the minors but he was back to his old ways again in his last start with 4 runs given up. The Mariners have Woo on the mound here and even though he gave up 6 runs in his last start, he has been a solid starter for the Mariners this season in most of his other starts and he will be looking to bounce back at home here. The Blue Jays offense hasn't been scoring many runs lately either so this is the perfect spot for the Mariners to take advantage of this pitching matchup at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.
