The Seattle Mariners and the Philadelphia Phillies will play game two of their three-game series this Wednesday from Citizens Bank Park. Seattle took game one after holding off a late rally from Philly, 5-3.

Mariners Betting Preview

Seattle enters at 11-12 after defeating Philadelphia. The Mariners have won three of their last four games, and they’ll look to jump back to .500 here. The Seattle offense is scoring runs per game, while batting .229, with a .294 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 3.33 ERA, with a 1.30 WHIP. Jarred Kelenic hit a homer and double in last night’s victory, and he leads Seattle in batting (.319). Ty France is first on the team in runs (17) and RBI (15).

Logan Gilbert (1-1, 3.57 ERA, 28 Ks) will make the road start for Seattle. The third-year pitcher has delivered three quality starts in four outings. Gilbert struck out seven over 6 ⅔ innings of work at Wrigley versus the Cubs, then he followed it up by fanning eight in six innings against the Brewers last week.

Phillies Betting Preview

Philadelphia comes in at 11-13 following the loss to Seattle. The Phillies failed to follow up their sweep of the Rockies strong, and they’ll aim to hop back into the win column here. The Philadelphia offense is scoring 4.06 runs per game, while batting .286, with a .343 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 5.28 ERA, with a 1.48 WHIP. Brandon Marsh has recorded a hit in eight of the last ten games, and he leads the Phillies in batting (.364). Alec Bohm has produced three runs in the past two outings, and he’s first on the team in RBI (18).

Taijuan Walker (2-1, 3.80 ERA, 17 Ks) will start for Philadelphia. The eighth-year pitcher has responded to a slow beginning to the season with a pair of quality starts. Walker went 6.1 innings in his last start in the Southside against the White Sox, and picked up his second straight winning decision.

Seattle vs Philadelphia Trends

Seattle is 10-13 against the spread this season, with a 12-10-1 over/under record. Philadelphia is 9-15 ATS this year, with a 11-13 O/U record.

Corey's Free Pick

Seattle stole game one, and I think Philadelphia strikes back in game two. Taijuan Walker has delivered in back-to-back starts, and after stalling offensively last night, the bats should be eager to bounce back and supply the proper run support to win. Roll with Philly for this interleague battle.
