The Seattle Mariners are starting to look like the team we expected to be at the start of the year and will try to keep the good times going against the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. Sportsbooks opened the M’s as +103 home underdogs with a total of eight.
Marcus Stroman and Ariel Miranda are slated to get the ball for the Jays and Mariners, respectively. Stroman (6-2, 3.25 ERA) has won his last five decisions while allowing two runs or fewer in seven of his last nine outings. The 26-year-old is 4-0 with a 3.34 ERA in five road starts this season while striking out nine over six innings of work in a no-decision vs Seattle on May 13.
Miranda (6-2, 3.74) has won three straight starts and five consecutive decisions while limiting opposing hitters to a minuscule .219 batting average this season. The hurler tossed his first career complete game in his last effort when he gave up one run and four hits against Tampa Bay while matching his career high of nine K’s.
The Jays have fared well against the Mariners lately, going 4-1 in the last five meetings between the AL clubs.
