My Prediction
Seattle Mariners by 3In the MLB world, we've got a fascinating collision of two thrilling teams, the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners, playing at the pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park in Seattle.
Swinging into the mound for Toronto Blue Jays is Kevin Gausman who has a respectable 3.89 ERA spiced with an 8.5 K/9 over 7 appearances this season. On the other end, Luis Castillo with a slightly better 3.31 ERA and 7.1 K/9 over his 7 appearances will be serving the pitches for the Seattle Mariners.
Eyeing the batters, Toronto Blue Jays' power lies in the hands of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s smooth 0.310 batting average with 14 RBIs and 4 home runs. Let's also not forget about Nathan Lukes and Anthony Santander who've been showing up. However, our dear Santander needs to find his groove back quick.
Stepping into the crease for the Mariners will be Leonardo Rivas with a whopping 0.341 batting average and 4 stolen bases. J.P. Crawford and Jorge Polanco have their numbers up too with 17 RBIs each. But the real firecracker here is Cal Raleigh with his 21 RBIs and 10 home runs, making the park his playground.
Considering their past matches, it has mostly been a Seattle domination with the Mariners outscoring the Blue Jays in their last few matchups, with the exception of a couple close games.
Studying their regular season records, the Mariners are undoubtedly the higher fliers with 22 wins against 14 losses, compared to the Blue Jays with a 16-20 track. The recent results also point out an edge for Seattle with more victories under their belt.
So, sandwiching all these, my analytical brain and my oatmeal breakfast points towards the Seattle Mariners taking this one home. Hold onto your hats, chocolate milk, and waffles folks! This one promises to be a doozy.
