The Blue Jays took the first of a three-game set with the Mariners after Marco Estrada flirted with a no-hitter last night. They will look for a similar pitching performance from J.A. Happ tonight as he goes for his 20th win of the season. Happ has turned into the de facto ace for the Jays after he was signed to a deal that now looks like an absolute bargain.
- The Blue Jays are 7-1 in their last eight games on the road with J.A. Happ as the starting pitcher.
- The Mariners are 12-3 in their last 15 games after losing as a favorite.
- The total has gone OVER in 8 of the Mariners' last 11 games against teams with winning records.
Toronto has won 15 of Happ’s last 17 starts as he has been the picture of consistency. Since the all-star game, the lefty is 7-1 with a 3.09 ERA and has limited opposing lineups to a .210 batting average. He has made one start against the Mariners this year and, like Estrada, he too flirted with a no-hitter as he allowed just one hit and no runs in six innings.
Hisashi Iwakuma gets the call for Seattle looking for his third straight win. Iwa has been almost as good as Happ since the break as he’s posted a 3.27 ERA and 7-5 record. The current Jays lineup has had little success against the Japanese international as they own a combined .179 batting average in 84 total at-bats against him.
