They enter this game with a 65-43 record overall and have a road record of 27-22. This is the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Mariners on Saturday with the series opener of this series still to be played on Friday. Their offense ranks 7th in the MLB with a .747 OPS. Rookie pitcher Tyler Phillips is their starting pitcher on Friday while Kolby Allard is making his start in this game on Saturday. He is 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA this season.

The Mariners are entering this series off a loss and lost their 3-game series against the Boston Red Sox 2-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 57-53 record overall and have a home record of 31-23. This is the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Phillies on Saturday with the 1st game of this series still to be played on Friday. Their offense ranks 27th in the MLB with a .671 OPS. Bryan Woo is their starting pitcher on Friday while Bryce Miller is making his start in this game on Saturday. He is 8-7 with a 3.46 ERA this season.

The current betting odds have the Mariners listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mariners have looked good in their games this season with their 57-53 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the AL West and fighting with the Astros for 1st place. They have looked a lot better in their home games this year with their 31-23 home record. Meanwhile, the Phillies have looked great in their games this season with their 65-43 record overall which has them leading the NL East with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have been good in their road games this season with their 27-22 road record, but they haven't looked as good in those games as they have at home. The Phillies have also been in a slump lately with their 3-7 record in their last 10 games and they were just swept by the Yankees at home in their last series. They don't have a great pitching matchup either with Allard starting in this one. Allard is 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA this season and has only made 1 start this year. He wasn't terrible in that start, but he still gave up 3 earned runs in 4 innings in a game that his team lost. The Mariners are going to have Miller starting in this one and he has been a solid starter for them all year. He is 8-7 with a 3.46 ERA and his team has been finding success with him on the mound lately. He gave up 3 earned runs in his last start but hasn't been giving up many runs lately, and his team has also won 3 of their last 4 games with him starting. The Mariners haven't looked great lately but they are starting to play better now and they are the hotter team coming into this series. They can take advantage of this pitching matchup while the Phillies are in a slump right now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mariners to win this game.

“You know he's going to come out of it at some point; he's such a great hitter. He's going to start hitting home runs again, and he's going to start feeling good about himself. Maybe he needs a day off to clear his head a little bit.” - Rob Thomson after his team’s loss against the Yankees in their game on Wednesday.

“We had a lot of opportunities to bust it open. In a game like this, you’re just like one big hit away from getting on the good side of this thing, but not for lack of effort. But, I like the way we’re playing. The at-bats are better. We just didn’t come through with runners in scoring position today.” - Scott Servais after his team’s loss against the Red Sox in their game on Wednesday.
