The Mariners are coming into this game with a 4-8 record this season and they are on the verge of being swept here. They have been awful in their recent games as they have lost their last 3 straight as well as 6 of their last 7 games, and their pitching has been awful in those as they have allowed at least 5 runs in each of their last 3 as well as 6 of their last 7 games. They are going up against a Blue Jays team that is 6-6 this season and they have been pitching much better in this series which is also their home opening series. Their offense has been good as well as they have scored at least 5 runs in 3 of their last 4 games. Yusei Kikuchi is starting for the Blue Jays in this game and he is 0-1 with a 2.79 ERA this season. He allowed 3 earned runs in a little over 4 innings against the Rays in his 1st start of the season, but he was much better in his last start as he allowed no runs in a little over 5 innings against the Yankees. He is going to bring a little extra for this game since he is starting against his former team and the only time he saw them last season was in a game where he pitched 5 scoreless innings. Logan Gilbert is starting for the Mariners here and he is 0-0 with a 3.55 ERA this season. He only gave up 1 run in 7 innings in his 1st start of the season against the Red Sox, but he was much worse in his last start against the Brewers as he allowed 4 earned runs in a little under 6 innings pitched, his only road start of the season as well. Now he is going to be on the road again here and he did not pitch well in his only start against the Blue Jays last season as he allowed 5 earned runs in 5 innings pitched. The Blue Jays are gaining some steam now with their offense playing better at home and their pitching has also been much better than the Mariners recently. The Blue Jays will win this game at home and sweep the series.
