Fri Apr 18 22:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Blue Jays’ Bichette Expected to Shine Against Mariners’ Woo
**Toronto, ON** – The Toronto Blue Jays, fresh off a series win against the Atlanta Braves, face a tougher challenge this weekend against the Seattle Mariners at Rogers Centre. While Mariners’ pitcher Bryan Woo poses a significant threat (2.84 ERA in 2025), expert MLB picks predict Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette will have a strong performance.
Bichette has been a consistent offensive force, recording 2+ total bases in four of his last five games and at least one hit in seven of his nine most recent contests. His impressive .318 batting average against right-handed pitchers, like Woo, further bolsters the prediction. While a high-scoring game isn’t anticipated against Woo, who has held opponents to one earned run in two of his three starts this season, Bichette is tipped to exceed 1 total base.
Other betting predictions include Cal Raleigh of the Mariners exceeding 0.5 RBIs and Bryan Woo remaining under 2.5 earned runs. The Mariners’ Raleigh has been exceptional, with eight home runs this season, including six in the last week. However, the Blue Jays’ starting pitcher, Bowden Francis, has surrendered four home runs in just 11 innings, presenting an opportunity for Raleigh.
The game promises a compelling matchup between two strong pitching staffs and potent hitters, with Bo Bichette emerging as the key player to watch.
