MLB - 973 Toronto Blue Jays @ 974 Seattle Mariners
(Starting Pitchers: J. Johnson vs F. Hernandez)
Toronto won the first game of this series on a pitchers duel, mostly thanks to R.A. Dickey who has been pitching better lately. Things will be much different tonight, as the Blue Jays will start Josh Johnson and he has been a disaster this season. He has allowed 25 earned runs in his last four outings and the truth is that Johnson ended July with a 7.71 ERA, 6.08 FIP and a .279 BA! Seattle's offense has been great against RH pitchers, so Johnson will heavily struggle once again tonight.
On the other side, Felix Hernandez will start for the Mariners tonight and he is coming from dominating the Red Sox on the road, as he allowed just one earned run in seven innings, while having a 8/2 K/BB ratio! Toronto's lineup has a lot of power, but Hernandez dominated the Blue Jays on the road earlier in the season and I expect him to do that once again tonight. With Hernandez having a decent outing and with Johnson struggling once again, I can only expect Seattle to pick up a comfortable win in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 974 Seattle Mariners RL -1 (w/ F. Hernandez) @ -125 / 1.80 on 5Dimes
