MLB Betting Trends

Toronto

The Blue Jays are 1-4 in their last five games versus the AL West. Toronto is 1-5 in its last six road games versus a right-handed starter.

Seattle

The Mariners are 5-1 in their last six games overall. Seattle is 1-4 in the last five Hernandez home starts.

Prediction: 

Hernandez hasn't been on the mound for the Mariners in months and it will be interesting to see how this goes. He's definitely going to be motivated and he'll be facing a struggling team, whcih should help. This could be King Felix's last hurrah with Seattle and I'm betting on him having another quality start or two before it's all said and done. Font is inconsistent on the other side and a run or two early could help Hernandez settle into a groove. I'm going with the home dogs here.
