Seattle Mariners vs Toronto Blue Jays Game Analysis
Seattle Mariners: Pitching Struggles
George Kirby (7 wins, 6 losses, 3.32 ERA) of the Seattle Mariners, who suffered a narrow defeat due to pitching struggles, will aim for his eighth win of the season. Kirby had a disappointing loss on the 3rd against Baltimore at home, pitching 6.1 innings and allowing 2 runs but not receiving much support from the offense. Although he allowed 5 runs in 4 innings during an away game against Toronto on April 10th, he could show a completely different performance at home. The Seattle offense, which was struggling against Yennier Cano, managed to score 4 runs with 2 homers off Toronto's bullpen, but it seems to have reverted to its bad form. Their scoring position performance was 1 hit in 7 at-bats. Apart from their main bullpen duo, the rest of the bullpen, which allowed 3 runs in 5 innings, seems unreliable.
Toronto Blue Jays: Unstable Bullpen
The Toronto Blue Jays, who almost blew a winning game, will have José Berríos (8 wins, 6 losses, 3.63 ERA) challenge for his ninth win of the season. Berríos had an embarrassing win on the 3rd against Houston at home, pitching 5 innings and allowing 5 runs, which highlighted the instability of his home games. He pitched 6.2 innings with 4 hits and no runs in a home game against Seattle on April 9th, but his recent away game struggles are a concern. The Toronto offense scored 5 runs against Seattle's pitching staff in the previous game but failed to score more, which might seem disappointing. Their scoring position performance was 2 hits in 16 at-bats, which they need to reflect on. The bullpen, which allowed 4 runs in 3 innings, could be described as dreadful.
Game Outlook
Both teams have exchanged wins. What is clear is that Toronto needs to overwhelmingly win the starting matchup to secure victory. However, Kirby's fastball might silence Toronto's offense, which is a concern. While Berríos is also capable of pitching well, the Seattle offense can tackle sinkers, and the bullpen difference is significant. Seattle Mariners, with better pitching, are closer to a win.
