Seattle Mariners vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

I’m on the Phillies here. I just think it boils down to me being able to trust the Phillies’ batting lineup to produce a heck of a lot more than I trust Seattle’s right now and while the bullpen’s been problematic for the Phillies, Phillips has been able to eat up a ton of innings and not have that be too much of an issue in his starts. Woo is a great option in his own right, but there’s a hole in Seattle’s boat right now and that boat is sinking fast. Give me Philadelphia.
