Date & Time: Tuesday, 6:45 p.m. EDT
Venue: Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia
Pitching Probables:
Seattle Mariners: Bryce Miller (MLB debut/0-0)
Philadelphia Phillies: Cristopher Sanchez (11-4, 2.39 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 157 strikeouts)
Team Records & Trends:
Philadelphia Phillies:
Record: 72-53 overall, 38-21 at home
Strengths: 30-15 in games when they don’t allow a home run
Recent Form: 6-4 in last 10, batting .254, ERA 4.29, narrowly outscored opponents by 1 run
Seattle Mariners:
Record: 68-58 overall, 31-33 on the road
Strengths: 46-10 in games scoring 5+ runs
Recent Form: 5-5 in last 10, batting .247, ERA 5.07, outscored by 4 runs
Key Players:
Phillies:
Kyle Schwarber: 43 HR, .249 AVG, 19 doubles
Bryce Harper: 4 HR, 3 doubles in last 10 games
Trea Turner: Hot streak; 4-hit game in last meeting vs. Mariners
Mariners:
Julio Rodriguez: 24 HR, 23 doubles, 4 triples
Cal Raleigh: 5 HR, 2 doubles in last 10 games
Pitching Matchup Notes:
Cristopher Sanchez: Dominant this season; ERA 2.39 and 157 strikeouts make him tough for any lineup, especially rookie or inexperienced starters
Bryce Miller: Appears to be making MLB debut or limited exposure; Phillies’ lineup with Schwarber, Turner, and Harper will likely test him early
Betting Breakdown:
Moneyline:
Phillies -185: Clear favorite; hot offense and elite pitching against a likely inexperienced starter
Mariners +153: Risky; they would need to score early and consistently to overcome Sanchez
Run Line:
Phillies -1.5 +120: Strong option; Sanchez likely keeps runs low, Phillies offense capable of multi-run support
Over/Under:
8 runs: Lean under — Phillies’ Sanchez on the mound, Mariners’ road struggles against strong pitching, and Phillies’ ability to prevent home runs make 8 runs realistic
Final Bet Recommendation:
Run Line: Phillies -1.5 +120 – reasonable with Phillies’ power and Sanchez’s dominance
