Two teams that are off to sluggish starts to the 2024 MLB season will face each other on Wednesday afternoon when the Seattle Mariners travel to Toronto, Ontario to face the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Center with the game scheduled to start at 3:07 PM ET and will air on Root Sports North and Root Sports Northwest.

The Seattle Mariners entered the 2024 MLB season with high expectations as they had an over/under win total of 87.5 games.  However, the Mariners have gotten off to a sluggish start to the season as they enter this game with a record of 4-8 and will be looking to avoid the series sweep on the road against the Toronto Blue Jays following Tuesday’s 3-5 loss in Game 2 of the series which extended their losing streak to three games and was also their 6^th loss in their last seven games. 

The Mariners split the series against the Red Sox, however, they have lost their last three series including the series on the road against the Toronto Blue Jays. A team that is projected to be one of the highest-scoring teams in baseball this season has only averaged 3 runs per game over their last seven matchups. The Seattle Mariners will look to avoid the series sweep against the Toronto Blue Jays when they face the Blue Jays on the road in Game 3 of the series.

The Toronto Blue Jays are back to .500 on the season following a 5-3 win at home against the Seattle Mariners in Game 2 of the series on Tuesday which also extended their winning streak to two games. 

The Blue Jays also won their first series of the season with the win on Tuesday at home against the Mariners and will be looking to get the series sweep with a win on Wednesday afternoon. The Blue Jays enter this game riding a three-game winning streak in the series and have won by an average margin of 2 runs per game over the previous three games in the series against the Mariners including a 5-3 win in the most recent contest on Tuesday evening. 

The Toronto Blue Jays will look to extend their winning streak in the series and get their first series sweep of the 2024 MLB season when they host the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday afternoon.

WagerWeb has the Toronto Blue Jays listed as -115 moneyline favorites at home against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday afternoon. Toronto enters this game on a three-game winning streak in the series and has won by an average margin of 2 runs per game in those contests, however, the teams have split the previous ten meetings with the Mariners having outscored the Blue Jays by an average of 4.6 to 4.5 runs per game in those matchups.

Toronto has won the last three meetings by an average margin of 2 runs per game including the meeting on Tuesday by a score of 5-3 at home. The Blue Jays have won five of the last six games in the series at home which is why I am taking the moneyline for the Toronto Blue Jays when they host the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday afternoon.
