Seattle Mariners vs Toronto Blue Jays 5/16/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

The Seattle Mariners will meet with the Toronto Blue Jays in MLB action in Rogers Centre, ON, CAN, on Monday, May 16, 2022, at 7:07 PM ET.

The Mariners lost 13 of their previous 16 matches heading into the weekend. By taking two of three in Queens, they took a major step in the right direction and will now try to put together a string of excellent plays. Seattle’s offensive was in the middle of the pack thus far, generating slightly over four runs per game (19th overall).

The Mariners are hitting .235 as a club, with a team OPS of.692 (14th). With a .331 batting average and 25 RBIs, Ty France was the team’s best player.

Eugenio Saurez has the most home runs with six. Julio Rodrigez, the young prodigy, is steadily regaining his form after a shaky start, going 4/4 with his second home run of the season on Sunday.

Chris Flexen has a 1-5 record and a 4.24 ERA heading into Monday’s game. He’s returning from a bad start against Philadelphia when he was pounded for six runs on nine hits in five shaky innings.

Seattle’s starting pitching remains a significant question mark, with key offseason addition Robbie Ray faltering out of the gate and Logan Gilbert taking a step back after a great start.

Getting Flexen back on track would be a critical first step toward restoring some back-end stability. With a 3.74 team ERA, the Mariners are presently ranked 17th.

The total went OVER in 6 of Seattle’s last 9 matches.
The Seattle Mariners are 5-13 SU in their last 18 matches.
Seattle is 4-1 SU in their last 5 matches against Toronto.

After a dismal 2-7 road trip that featured trips in Cleveland, New York, and Tampa Bay, the Blue Jays return home. Toronto will be hoping to rebound after dropping all three series on the trip. Surprisingly, the Blue Jays failed to score regularly in 2022, sitting 22nd in the league with 3.82 runs per game.

On Monday, Yusei Kikuchi took the mound with a 1-1 record and a 4.15 ERA. Kikuchi battled to keep runners off the basepaths in his first six outings, walking 3 or more in four of his past five games and sporting a 1.41 WHIP.

In his last start, he pitched 5.1 innings of a two-run ball while allowing only two hits and striking out five batters. The Blue Jays will be hoping he can give some much-needed depth.
