Philadelphia Phillies vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction
I’m backing the Mariners here. Not often I’ve backed Seattle given the inconsistency of this offense, but the Mariners broke through in a big way on Monday against a much better starting option in Zack Wheeler and I look for them to do the same against Aaron Nola, who has been much more susceptible as a starting option this season. George Kirby’s been solid, but like all Mariners starting pitchers, it’s about whether or not they get the run support and I think Kirby does here so give me Seattle.
