Game 2 of a 3-game series, with the Blue Jays winning Game 1, 6-3.

Matchup: Toronto Blue Jays (+120) at Seattle Mariners (-142)

Location: T-Mobile Park, Seattle, Washington

Starting Pitchers: RHP Bowden Francis (Blue Jays) vs. RHP Logan Evans (Mariners)

Revised Analysis:

The Blue Jays have seized the momentum by taking Game 1. Now, they look to secure the series victory on the road. The Mariners, now in a must-win situation, need to capitalize on their home-field advantage to tie the series and avoid a series loss.

Key Changes and Considerations:

• Series Pressure: The Mariners are now in a pressure-cooker situation, with their need to win this game. They will be playing at home, meaning home support for the fan is important. If the Mariners cannot capitalize and make adjustments, expect there to be lots of doubt with the team.
• Blue Jays Confidence: The Blue Jays stole the momentum by taking Game 1, but the Blue Jays need to be level-headed to make the most out of this opportunity. While this happens, watch the key pieces and check what may or may not be on their way.
• Pitching Advantage: The Blue Jays have had some good starts, but a large issue continues to have some runs go against them. They will have to change if they want any chance to win it all.

Prediction:

Given all this information, I am expecting the Mariners to put their heart and sole to defend the home turf.

Final Recommendation: Mariners (-142) with the win, the over and under have great potential depending on how the first few innings go.

Here is what to look for:

• Adjustments from the Blue Jays, and what that means

As much as the Blue Jays winning is possible, I don’t see any adjustments going in their favor. A large chance and possibility for our friends down at the Mariners to change that!
