Felix Hernandez is one of the main reasons that the Seattle Mariners lead the American League in team ERA, and southpaw Randy Romero of the Toronto Blue Jays should be able to contain a Seattle lineup that has bee terrible vs. lefties lately, resulting in a very low scoring affair.

The All-Star Hernandez is 16-5 with a fantastic 2.45 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 216.1 innings this season, and most importantly he has maintained his raging form. He has recorded 10 consecutive Quality Starts since August 1, and he has incredibly allowed one earned run or less in each of his last four starts.

Hernandez did have one of his worst starts of the season the last time he faced the Jays in Seattle, as he was touched up for seven runs and 11 hits in 5.2 innings, but he did limit them to one unearned run in eight innings the last time he pitched here in Toronto, so we look for him to get some payback here, especially in his current form.

Now Romero has cooled down after a terrific start this season, but he has still not allowed more than four runs in five of his last six starts, and he is facing a Mariners lineup that is batting a pathetic .174 vs. left-handed pitching over the last 10 games. In fact, Seattle is dead last in the American League with a .256 team batting average overall, so Romero should be able to do his part to keep this game Under.

Finally, the Under is 9-3 in the last 12 head-to-head meetings between these clubs, so look for that pattern to continue.
