Total: 9.00 | 111.00 Under
Result: Loss
This total is set too low given a pitching matchup of Wade LeBlanc versus Jaime Garica.
LeBlanc is a 33-year-old journeyman who will be making only his second big league start in three years. He's filling in for injured Erasmo Ramirez.
Garcia has turned into a journeyman after a promising career with the Cardinals was derailed by constant injuries. The southpaw has gotten worse since the start of the season with an 0-2 record and 9.88 ERA during his last three starts. The Mariners have one of the better offenses against lefthanders.
The Blue Jays also are without closer Robert Osuna, who is awaiting a likely suspension. This not only leaves Toronto vulnerable in the ninth inning, but also weakens the team in the seventh and eighth innings.
