Toronto Blue Jays vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
The Blue Jays have found their offense over the last two games, and as they showed throughout the regular season, once they get going it can be hard to stop. The Mariners may have a problem on their hands. Gausman has also been dealing lately, allowing 36 hits and 13 runs in his last 43.2 innings. In 97.1 road innings, Gausman has a 3.33 ERA and .195 allowed batting average. The Mariners pitching staff is getting all the bad press lately, but the offense hasn’t hit the ball well in the postseason, so there are concerns across the board right now out west. Miller has shined through 10.1 postseason innings, but let’s not forget he had a 5.68 ERA and 1.41 WHIP on the season. In 45 home innings, Miller had a 5.80 ERA and .262 allowed batting average. With the way the Blue Jays are swinging the bats, the M’s could be in trouble. I’ll ride with the Blue Jays in game 5.
