Blue Jays hope to build off their last win
Toronto (17-20 SU, 21-16 RL, and 17-20 O/U) dropped two of three games to Los Angeles (AL) earlier this week. The Blue Jays are 4-6 in their last ten games.
Canada's ballclub will turn to righty Bowden Francis on Saturday against Seattle. In his last outing, the fourth-year MLB pro allowed four runs and six hits in a 4.1-frame loss to Cleveland. He is 2-5 with a 5.66 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in seven starts (35.0 IP).
Toronto may not be a serious contender in 2025, but it's unlikely to be a ballclub bettors can write off. The club had failed pursuits of big-name free agents but made some solid signings in Max Scherzer, Anthony Santander, and Andrés Giménez. With Bo Bichette, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Santander, and Dalton Varsho, the top of the lineup is strong, and a rotation of José Berríos, Kevin Gausman, Chris Bassitt, and Scherzer allows Toronto to be patient with Francis and Yuriel Rodriguez. Some injuries to the Blue Jays' bullpen will test their depth early on, which is scary considering how inefficient the relief group was a year ago.

Seattle is 12-6 at home this season
Seattle (16-12 SU, 15-13 RL, and 15-11-2 O/U) took two of three games from the Athletics in its previous series. The Mariners are 8-2 in their last ten games.
Seattle will turn to right-hander Logan Evans tomorrow against the Blue Jays. In his last appearance, the 23-year-old rookie allowed 6 runs on 11 hits and 2 walks in a five-frame loss to Texas. He is 1-1 with a 7.20 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in his first two MLB starts (10.0 IP).
Seattle was among the most disappointing baseball teams last year, as it wasted a fantastic pitching rotation (2.85 ERA and a .205 OBA) with an inability to provide run support. The Mariners ranked 20th in runs scored in 2024, averaging 4.1 per game. Close losses were too common for M's fans, but will they turn it around this year? Seattle has been more productive at the plate in 2025, ranking seventh in MLB in runs scored (5.1 per game), and has stayed dominant on the mound (2.95 ERA and .226 OBA).

Full-Game Total Pick
Insiders Status:
The Blue Jays and Mariners will combine for at least nine runs on Saturday night in Seattle.
The home team averages 4.8 runs per game in front of their fans and 4.7 runs under the lights at night. They can jump out to an early lead against the unreliable Francis and add on insurance runs against the Toronto bullpen (4.24 ERA and 17 HR allowed).
The visitors should also be confident facing a rookie hurler making his third-ever big league start. Evans was roughed up in his previous appearance after a solid MLB debut, putting 13 runners on base in five frames. The Blue Jays may not be a potent offensive ballclub, but they will jump all over any mistakes Evans makes over the heart of the dish. Seattle's bullpen has allowed 16 long balls this year, too.
