Logan Gilbert will take the mound for Seattle, looking to improve on his 1-1 record and 2.38 ERA. Pitching has been a strength of the Mariners in 2025, and Gilbert should be able to slow down a powerful Blue Jays lineup.

Cal Raleigh is having a huge offensive season for the Mariners as he has already belted eight home runs. The Mariners struggled offensively in the series opener, but they can bounce back in a hurry.

Toronto only has 12 home runs; however, the team is hitting .255. Bo Bichette is carrying the load as the Blue Jays are still waiting for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to take off.

Veteran Jose Berrios will start for Toronto, and he has gone 1-1 with a 5.16 ERA. This is going to be a tough start for Berrios, as the Mariners will get the win.

Prediction: Seattle Mariners 5, Toronto Blue Jays 3
