Pitching Matchup
Both teams are bringing their A-game to the mound today. For Seattle, George Kirby will be starting, while the Phillies will have Matt Strahm throwing the first pitch. Kirby has managed to slash his ERA down to 4.42, and Strahm has allowed just 2 runs per game in his last 2 outings. It’s promising to be a fascinating matchup from start to finish.
Win Trends
The Mariners have won 5 of their last 10 games, while the Phillies have had more success recently, with 7 wins in their last 10 games. It’s a close call, but with the Phillies’ form, they seem the more likely to secure the win today.
Totals Trends
The Mariners have had a bit of an inconsistent record with over/under bets lately, with 6 of their last 10 games going over the set total, and the remaining 4 staying under. The same is not true of the Phillies, however, with no significant trend for their games, and the total going both over and under in equal measure.
