Seattle Mariners vs. Toronto Blue Jays
Tuesday, April 09, 2024 – 07:07 PM ET at Rogers Centre
Seattle and Toronto are both off to slower than expected starts, and so are the starting pitchers in tonight’s tussle. George Kirby (1-1, 5.23) sets his sights on leveling the series for the Mariners after the Blue Jays took Monday’s opener, but top sportsbooks give Chris Bassitt (0-2, 7.71) and Toronto the edge.
Mariners 1-3 on the Road
It has been a Jekyll & Hyde start for Kirby, with one excellent effort against the Red Sox followed by a whipping at the hands of Cleveland last week. He’ll be facing a Blue Jays lineup he last saw in the Wild Card Round of the 2022 AL Playoffs.
Bassitt had two things working against him last week in Houston: He wasn’t fooling Astros hitters who chased the righthander in the fifth having already stroked 9 hits, including a Yordan Alvarez homer, and his turn to pitch came up the same night Cristian Javier and the Houston bullpen combined on a 1-hit shutout.
Teams Split 6 Meetings in 2023
Toronto’s 5-2 win on Monday marked the third time in the last 4 matchups with the Mariners for the final to stay ‘under’ the MLB odds. That won’t happen again on Tuesday when the bats send this one past the mark.
