Oddsmaker Stitches is predicting a victory for the Seattle Mariners over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. He suggests a wager on the Mariners, who are listed at -168 on FanDuel.
Stitches, who has been handicapping baseball for the New York Post since 2019 and won the Post's NFL Best Bet crown last year, also noted recent pitching performances. Toronto's Shane Bieber has made two starts since returning from the injured list, allowing six runs over nine innings and issuing four walks. Seattle's Logan Gilbert, while recently having a rough outing in Cleveland, had given up just three runs in his previous 19 1/3 innings.
In other MLB news, the Chicago Cubs suffered a significant loss to the rival St. Louis Cardinals, with a final score of 17-1. David Peterson allowed 10 runs over 3 2/3 innings for the Cubs.
