The Toronto Blue Jays will host the Seattle Mariners today in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series at Rogers Centre. Today’s expected starters are Alek Manoah for the Jays and Luis Castillo for the Mariners, and both guys can deal. Castillo is 8-6 with a 2.99 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP. Manoah is just a little bit better. The hard throwing righty is 16-7 with a 2.24 ERA and a WHIP of only 0.99. Toronto is 9-1 in his last 10 starts in game 1 of a series and have the edge in runs scored, batting average, OPS, and home runs. Consider the Jays.
