Toronto Blue Jays vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
The Blue Jays finally found their offense in their game 3 victory and if that carries over we’ll be going back to Canada evened up. However, Castillo has been money lately, allowing 18 hits and 8 runs in his last 35.1 innings. The Mariners have won 6 straight games with Castillo on the mound. Castillo has a 2.60 ERA and .192 allowed batting average in 100.1 home innings. Scherzer is a Hall of Famer and has been in endless big games, but he’s allowed 24 hits and 17 runs in his last 15 innings. In 35 road innings, Scherzer has a 5.91 ERA and .252 allowed batting average. At 41 years old, Scherzer is a shell of himself. I’ll side with the Mariners for a bounce back performance.
