Mariners at Blue Jays 8/16/19 - MLB Picks & Predictions
Seattle has faded quite a bit this season and do not look like they will bounce back. The Mariners were sellers at the deadline and even before the deadline. The problem is that was before the Mariners were really freefalling like they have recently. At least with the Blue Jays, the team knew they were not going to be ultra competitive on the year, but were just around to be competitive. That is one thing that the Blue Jays have managed to do on the season as well.
Daniel Vogelbach is the player who has started to show up for the power for the Mariners with 27 homers. Domingo Santana has managed to hit at a clip of .259 this year with 69 RBIs. When it comes to hitting or the Blue Jays they have relied on Randal Grichuk for the power with 22 homers and 57 RBIs on the year. Freddy Galvis has hit at a clip of .267 on the season so far. Wade LeBlanc is the pitcher who the Mariners are starting in this game. He has posted a 6-6 record and a 5.14 ERA on the season. He has thrown a total of 98 innings this year with 73 strikeouts, but has walked 23 batters and allowed a total of 111 hits.
Jacob Waguespack is the pitcher the Blue Jays have opted to send to the mound in this game. He has posted a 3-1 record and a 4.31 ERA. He has thrown a total of 39.2 innings on the year with 30 strikeouts, but has walked 13 batters and allowed only 40 hits this season.
Betting Trends for vs
The Blue Jays are sending out the better, granted a less experienced starter in this game, but that will be all the Blue Jays need to put them on a good path. The Mariners traded away a lot of offensive power this year and still are trying to make up some of the gap from the power they lost. Look for that gap and the fact the Mariners are on the road to be costly in this game as the Blue Jays bring home a win based off of the better all around and more consistent play on the field. Final Score, Toronto Blue Jays win 5-3.
