Friday Night Showdown: Can the Blue Jays and Mariners Pull Off Stunning Upsets Against Red Sox and Rangers?
_____________________________
Gilbert has dominated Texas’s lineup over his last five starts, while Eovaldi has struggled against Seattle. Eovaldi has a 7.25 ERA in his previous five starts vs. the Mariners with three straight losses. Gilbert has won three in a row against the Rangers and has a 1.99 ERA and 34/6 K/BB rate over his last five outings vs. Texas.ÂÂ
This is Eovaldi’s first start since last month after missing time with a triceps injury. Yet, the Rangers have a good bullpen and an off-day Thursday, so they’ll be well-rested. Regardless, this is a “good spot” for Gilbert. The Mariners are 10-4 as short road favorites (-130 or less) with him on the bump and a +3.2 run margin.ÂÂ
