Seattle Mariners vs Philadelphia Phillies Analysis
Seattle Mariners had an overall successful weekend against St. Louis, winning 2 out of 3 games before being defeated 7-3 in Sunday’s finale. From a sports betting standpoint, the Mariners entered as moneyline underdogs while their 10 total runs exceeded the pregame threshold of 9.0 runs. Chris Flexen continued his poor outings at starting pitcher as his debut outing brought his record to 0-4. This pitcher only managed 4 innings before surrendering 6 earned runs on 9 hits and 3 walks. Offensively, Seattle was only able to muster six hits as a team; Kolten Wong managed three hits and scored once. Jarred Kelenic produced one other notable offensive highlight with a solo bomb. Logan Gilbert will make his fourth start for Seattle and looks to reverse their winless record. So far this season he is 1-1 with a 3.57 ERA and 1.01 WHIP over 4 starts. Gilbert earned no decision against the Brewers on Tuesday, lasting 6.0 innings while giving up 4 earned runs on five hits during their 6-5 defeat. Seattle’s offense has underperformed so far this season, ranking 17th in runs scored and boasting only the 26th-ranked team batting average and 21st-best OPS.
Philadelphia Phillies notched its third straight win by defeating Colorado 9-3 in the series finale Sunday. Philadelphia secured their win streak at 3 victories out of 4 games over Colorado. Philadelphia entered as a betting favorite while their 12 combined runs easily exceeded the pregame threshold of 8.5 runs. Zack Wheeler turned in an outstanding start, allowing just three earned runs on three hits and three walks over 6.0 innings while striking out 11 batters to earn his team victory. Offensively, the Phillies recorded eight hits as a team and all came from different players; Trea Turner, Kody Clemens, Bryson Stott and Brandon Marsh each launched homers. Bailey Falter will look to extend his winning streak in his fifth start of the year, although his odds may be against him given his current stats: an 0-3, 4.50 ERA and 1.18 WHIP mark. Last time out against the White Sox, the southpaw suffered an unexpected defeat despite pitching 7 innings. He allowed three earned runs on 3 hits and 3 walks to contribute to their 3-0 defeat. At first glance, offense hasn’t been an issue for the Phillies this season as they rank 14th in runs scored while ranking third for both team batting average and OPS.
