Philadelphia Phillies vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
The Philadelphia Phillies have been in a slump all second half, and it's hard to find the confidence in Kolby Allard given his lack of recent MLB reps. The Seattle Mariners have been hot offensively as of late, and Bryce Miller is coming off a ridiculous month of July. Miller has also been great at home. The Mariners and the cheap price has to be one of the best bets on Saturday's MLB card.
