Matchup Odds, Predictions, and Projected Pitchers for Blue Jays vs Mariners (13th August)
The Toronto Blue Jays are gearing up for a crucial match against the Seattle Mariners on August 13th, with the game set to start at 10:10 pm ET inside T-Mobile Park.
The Blue Jays find themselves 2.5 games behind Boston in the race for the final AL playoff spot. However, they boast a strong run differential, sitting third in all of baseball. This season, they lead the league in slugging and OPS, and rank third in runs per game.
The Blue Jays' offensive firepower will be on display once again, as they are expected to have another strong output against the Mariners. Last time out, they hung 10 runs on the LA Angels, and stars like Bo Bichette, Randal Grichuk, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Teoscar Hernandez, Marcus Semien, and George Springer have a high batting average against the Mariners' starting pitcher, Robbie Ray.
Ray, who has surrendered two or fewer runs in six of his past seven starts, will be taking the mound for the Blue Jays. His ERA over his last 13 starts is a impressive 2.30, and he owns Toronto's only win over Seattle this season.
On the other side, the Mariners' starting pitcher for the game has yet to be confirmed. However, their roster lists two right-handed pitchers with records of 8-8 (3.94 ERA) and 9-11 (4.98 ERA) who could be probable starters. Trevor Rogers is mentioned as a pitcher for the Mariners, but without a specific date confirmation for this game.
The Blue Jays are entering the game as -165 road favourites over the Mariners, who are currently 4.5 games behind the Red Sox in the AL playoff race. Despite this, the Mariners have shown resilience, and their lineup could pose a challenge to the Blue Jays' pitching staff.
As the playoff race heats up, the Blue Jays will be looking to secure a crucial win against the Mariners. With their strong offensive performance and Ray's impressive form, they will be confident of extending their winning streak.
