Ricky's 1* play on Under.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- The total has gone Under in 9 of The Mariners last 16 road games.

- The total has gone Under in 7 of the Mariners last 12 games.

- The total has gone Under in 4 of The Mariners last 7 head to head road meetings.

Verdict: Runs should be hard to come by in this game.

Future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer has 222 career victories. He may not get another one.

Scherzer, who turned 42 today, is set to make his first big league start since June 10 having dealt with back and thumb issues since then.

The three-time Cy Young Award winner is 1-4 this season with a 10.23 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and has only 14 strikeouts in 22 innings.

So, yes, sadly I would say Scherzer is washed up. The Nationals are just the team to put an exclamation point to that.

Washington leads the majors in runs, homers, steals and OPS. CJ Abrams is first in RBI's and James Wood is fifth in homers with 30 of which 20 have come at home.

The Nationals are two games above .500. The Blue Jays have been a major disappointment with a 48-58 record. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has hit only six home runs and Toronto is the lowest scoring team in the league averaging 3.9 runs per game.

So this isn't a high bar for Andrew Alvarez, who has been the Nationals' second or third best pitcher. Alvarez has a 4.22 ERA, but has better metrics than what his ERA is. He is averaging 9.3 strikeouts and 0.3 home runs allowed per nine innings.

Blue Jays vs Nationals MLB Free Pick

The Angle(s): Toronto's 42-year-old veteran right-hander Max Scherzer (1-4, 10.23 ERA) actually turns 42 today (it's his real birthday!) but there's no gift in this matchup. He's making his first start off the injured list, so this isn't just a decline story, it's a rusty veteran coming off a six-week layoff. His last two outings before landing on the IL were brutal, as he served up five homers between those two starts alone, pushing his season total to nine allowed in just 22 innings.

Nationals lefty Andrew Alvarez (2-3, 4.22 ERA) isn't spotless either, but this is a favorable matchup as the Blue Jays are hitting just .218 with a .653 OPS against left-handed pitching this season, among the worst marks in the majors.
