I currently have:

Jays RL -105

$1050 to win $1000

I can hedge by playing:

Mariners ML +160

$625 to win $1000

This leaves me with either a $375 win or $50 loss as long as the Blue Jays don't win by 1. Should I do this or let the RL bet play?

let it ride, why risk the chance of the jays winning by 1 and losing $1600 with such a low total as well

I would let the RL ride.

I'm leaning on letting it ride because I also think it's going to go over which diminishes the impact of the total on the RL IMO.

you might be able to hedge with seattle +1.5, not sure what kind of price it has

-105

I'd just be guaranteeing a $50 loss at that point.
