Seattle at Toronto

Toronto is pitching well, with a 3.86 team ERA while riding a 5-1-1 run UNDER the total. That trend will continue today facing a bad Seattle offense that plays its sixth straight road game. Seattle hits .239 as a team (21st) with a miserable on-base percentage of .290 (28th) and no power, ranked No. 22 in slugging. The UNDER is 9-3 in the Mariners’ last 12 games following a loss. At least the Mariners have a good arm in Jason Vargas, who is 3-1 with a 3.45 ERA. He has walked just 8 in 31 innings, allowing 24 hits with 23 Ks and he is 5-2 UNDER the total as an underdog. The UNDER is 33-16-4 in the Mariners’ last 53 when their opponent allows 2 runs or less in their previous game and yesterday Toronto shut them out, 7-0. Toronto started Henderson Alvarez who doesn't walk anyone (6 in 26 innings) and has allowed just 21 hits, plus the UNDER is 7-3-1 in the Blue Jays’ last 11 vs. the light hitting American League West. Play the UNDER.
