Seattle Mariners at Toronto Blue Jays
by BetUS Staff
Talk about two teams heading in opposite directions!
While the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday.
Now, the Jays hope to continue their winning ways for the BetUS MLB Odds as they have won all three starts that Parrish has made since joining the big league club on June 28.
Parrish, whoever, can’t take credit for leading Toronto to victory in his last start after allowing four runs on just four hits, including two homers in Sunday's 9-4 road win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Mariners will turn to mediocre right-handed veteran Miguel Batista (4-11, 6.89) who is coming off an absolutely horrific start in which he allowed a whopping eight runs on seven hits in just two innings of Saturday’s 9-6 loss to the Cleveland Indians.
The Blue Jays are suddenly finding their way behind immensely respected manager Cito Gasto, who was rehired earlier this season to replace John Gibbons after the team faltered routinely under Gibbons’ questionable leadership and decision-making.
"Something we've been trying to do since I got here was get to .500 and we have managed to do it," said Gaston. "Things didn't start out too good on this road trip but it turned out pretty good."
Now, 16-12 under Gaston since he took over on June 21, Toronto looks to crack the .500 barrier for the first time since they were 35-34 on June 13.
Here is a look at tonight’s key MLB online betting Free Picks:
The Mariners are 4-1 in their last 5 games following an off day.
The Mariners are 4-1 in their last 5 Friday games.
The Blue Jays are 5-0 in their last 5 games as a home favorite.
The Blue Jays are 5-0 in their last 5 games as a favorite.
The Over is 5-0 in Batista’s last 5 starts overall.
The Under is 5-1 in Blue Jays last 6 Friday games.
The Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
The Under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in Toronto.
Analysis: I love Cito Gaston MLB bettors and I knew it would be just a matter of time before the two-time World Champion manager began to work his magic on the Blue Jays and their excellent, but totally underrated, starting pitching staff. Tonight, the Jays continue their move up the AL standings with a big win over the Trilpe-A-like Mariners, who have absolutely nothing to play for at this point of their lost season.
