Toronto Form & Recent Results

Toronto enters this matchup trying to bounce back after losing its most recent game, and the Blue Jays have also dropped three of their last five games heading into Friday. Two of those defeats came at home against the Kansas City Royals, while another came on the road against the New York Yankees in the Bronx. Their latest loss was a tough one, as Toronto fell 13-2 to Kansas City on Thursday. Even in the lopsided defeat, George Springer gave the Blue Jays some production at the plate. The designated hitter went 2-for-3 with a walk, collecting a single and a home run while also scoring once and driving in two runs. Toronto’s pitching staff did manage to record nine strikeouts in the game and threw 118 strikes, but the Royals’ offense still did plenty of damage.

Kazuma Okamoto has been one of Toronto’s biggest power threats this year, leading the team with 26 home runs. Springer sits behind him as the Blue Jays’ second-leading home run hitter, with 13 long balls so far this year. Okamoto has also been the club’s top run producer, leading Toronto with 74 RBI on the season. Meanwhile, second baseman Ernie Clement has been the team’s most consistent hitter in terms of batting average, carrying a .281 mark at the plate. The Blue Jays have allowed an average of 5.8 runs per game in their last five overall, so tightening things up on the mound will be important as they look to pick up a much-needed win over a struggling Mariners team on Saturday.

Seattle Form & Recent Results

Seattle comes into this matchup looking to bounce back, but the Mariners have still been playing solid lately, winning three of their last five games before Friday. Two of those victories came at home against the Phillies, while the other was a home win over the Cubs. Their latest game was a 6-0 shutout loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday. Even though the offense could not get much going, catcher Jhonny Pereda had one of Seattle’s few productive performances at the plate, finishing 1-for-2 with a walk and a single. On the mound, Mariners pitchers were around the strike zone throughout the game, throwing 113 strikes and issuing only one walk, but it still was not enough to keep Philadelphia from pulling away.

Offensively this season, Seattle has been led by left fielder Randy Arozarena and center fielder Julio Rodriguez, who are tied for the team lead with 20 home runs each. Designated hitter Dominic Canzone has also provided important power in the lineup, sitting just behind them with 19 homers on the year. Arozarena has been one of the Mariners’ most dependable bats overall, leading the team with 58 RBIs while also carrying a team-best .272 batting average. In their last five games, Seattle has averaged four runs per game, and they will be looking for more consistency at the plate as they head on the road to face Toronto. With the Mariners battling the Astros and Rangers in a tight race near the top of the AL West, every game carries extra importance down the stretch.

Key Stats

• Seattle’s Randy Arozarena this season: 20 HRs, 58 RBI, .272 AVG

Seattle vs. Toronto Picks and Prediction

Toronto will host the Mariners on Saturday afternoon, with Jose Soriano getting the start on the mound. Soriano enters the matchup with a 10-7 record and a solid 3.43 ERA, giving his team a dependable arm as they look to set the tone early in the game. He’ll be matched up against Toronto’s Kade Anderson, who is still searching for his first win of the season. Anderson has posted a 4.76 ERA across 5.2 innings so far, and Saturday’s outing will be another chance for him to settle in, build some confidence, and give the Blue Jays a strong performance at home. Final Score Prediction, Toronto Blue Jays win 2-1.
