The Philadelphia Phillies and Seattle Mariners face off on Monday in an MLB showdown at T-Mobile Park.
The Phillies come into this game with a 12-16 record overall and for a team that had so many expectations heading into the season, they have been nothing but a disappointment. The Phillies have lost five of their last six games and on Sunday the offense only managed a run. Overall this season the Phillies offense has been pretty good, but the pitching staff has really let them down. The Phillies are giving up 4.35 runs per game.
On the other side of this matchup is the Seattle Mariners who sit with a 13-16 record overall, and they had lost six games in a row before finally making a comeback on Sunday to secure the win. The offense only scored two runs, but it was still enough to secure the victory. Ty France hasn’t gotten enough attention for what he has done this season. France has hit five home runs and driven in 22 RBIs.
Getting the start for the Phillies will be Ranger Suarez who sits with a 2-1 record and an ERA of 4.63. In his last start against the Rangers, he went five innings giving up six hits and five runs.
On the mound for the Mariners is Chris Flexen who sits with a 1-4 record and an ERA of 3.10. In his last start against the Astros, Flexen went five innings giving up two hits and one run.
The Mariners are 2-10 in their last 12 games overall. The Phillies are 6-1 in Suarez’s last seven starts. The under is 4-0 in Flexen’s last four starts. The under is 4-0 in Flexen’s last four starts following a team loss in their previous game.
Suarez hasn’t been great in terms of runs given up, but the Phillies have still won six of the last seven games that he started. The Mariners aren’t going to give Flexen much run support here, and that will be the difference as the Phillies get the job done. The Mariners only scored two runs on Sunday. Back the Phillies.
