Implied Win %: Projected Win %: The Toronto Blue Jays are set to face off against the Seattle Mariners on April 8, 2024, with the Blue Jays as the home team. The game will take place at Rogers Centre, marking an American League matchup between the two teams. Both the Blue Jays and the Mariners have struggled this season, each holding a record of 4-6. The Blue Jays are projected to start right-handed pitcher Jose Berrios, while the Mariners are set to start right-hander Luis Castillo. Berrios has started two games this season, boasting a win-loss record of 1-0 and an impressive ERA of 2.25. However, his 3.85 xFIP suggests that he may have been fortunate so far and could regress in future performances. In contrast, Castillo has started two games as well, but holds a win-loss record of 0-2 and a concerning ERA of 6.75. However, his 3.33 xFIP indicates that he may have been unlucky and could perform better going forward. This matchup presents an interesting dynamic between a pitcher with solid results but potential regression, and a pitcher with poor results but potential improvement. The Blue Jays, with a record of 4-6, have been struggling this season. Their offense ranks as the 23rd best in MLB, but their team batting average ranks a strong 5th. The Mariners, also sitting at 4-6, have faced similar struggles with the 27th best offense in the league, as well as a 24th ranking in team batting average. In terms of bullpen strength, the Blue Jays rank 15th in MLB, while the Mariners find themselves ranked 28th. This could be a factor to consider, as a stronger bullpen can provide an advantage in close games. When it comes to individual performances, Justin Turner has been the standout hitter for the Blue Jays over the last seven games, while Luis Urias has been leading the charge for the Mariners. These players' recent performances could have an impact on the outcome of the game. Overall, the Blue Jays are favored to win this game with a projected team total of 4.10 runs, compared to the Mariners' average implied team total of 3.90 runs. However, betting markets indicate that it will be a closely contested matchup. Luis Castillo will have the handedness advantage against 6 opposing bats today. According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), Cal Raleigh (the Mariners's expected catcher in today's game) projects as an elite pitch framer. Out of every team playing today, the strongest infield defense is that of the Toronto Blue Jays. Justin Turner is an extreme flyball batter and matches up with the weak outfield defense of Seattle (#2-worst on the slate today).
