Mariners vs Blue Jays: Prediction & Pick

Despite being the away team, the Mariners hold the edge with Luis Castillo, who is more experienced than Easton Lucas. The Mariners can generate offense with their lineup as Randy Arozarena and Cal Raleigh are starting to heat up. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays have power and depth, but consistency remains an issue.

Castillo is expected to have a bounce-back start in a game that is expected to be fairly slow under the dome and clear weather conditions.

Final Score Prediction:

• Mariners 5, Blue Jays 3

Best picks:

• Pick: Mariners Moneyline (-125)
• Pick: Under 8.0 Runs
