Stephen Nover's MLB Friday Totals Crusher
(MLB) Seattle vs. Toronto, 05/12/2017 3:07 PM, Score: 0 - 4
Total: 8.50 | 105.00 Under
Result: Loss
Seattle is an underrated offensive team. Only three teams have scored more runs than the Mariners. Seattle is averaging 7.7 runs in its last seven games if you discount a one-run performance they had against tough Yu Darvish. The Over has cashed in eight of Seattle's last 10 games.

Toronto always has been a strong offensive club and now its bats are heating up as the Blue Jays have scored 15 runs during the past two games.

The pitching matchup favors another high-scoring game as both starters are only in the rotation due to injuries.

Seattle starter Christian Bergman is filling in for Hisashi Iwakuma, one of four Mariners starting pitchers on the DL. Bergman has mainly been a reliever. His career ERA is 5.71 in 56 games.

Toronto starter Joe Biagini will be making only his second big league start. He's in the Blue Jay's rotation only because of injuries to Aaron Sanchez and J.A. Happ and Matt Latos being demoted. Biagini had made 74 career relief appearances before his first start. He'll be on a pitch count.

Another plus for the over is Ted Barrett is scheduled to be the home plate umpire. The over has cashed in five of his six home plate appearances this season and 18 of 31 home plate appearances last year for a combined Over percentage of 62 percent the past two seasons.
