Toronto Blue Jays Struggle as Seattle Mariners Continue Winning Streak

The Toronto Blue Jays have faced recent struggles, losing four of their last six games and 10 of their last 15 played on the road against the Seattle Mariners. Conversely, the Mariners have won eight of their last 11 games and 14 of their last 19 against American League teams. Toronto's pitching performance has been lackluster, ranking 24th in team ERA at 4.35, while the Mariners are currently 18th at 3.81. Seattle's strong offense, ranked 7th in runs scored, compensates for their middle-of-the-pack ERA ranking. Blue Jays starter Jose Urena has had limited appearances since his acquisition from the New York Mets, while Seattle starter Bryce Miller has shown inconsistency in his recent outings. Despite Miller's 4.15 ERA and 1.47 WHIP, he has the potential for a strong performance based on his early season success.
