Phillies vs. Mariners 6:40pm
Phillies Moneyline (+102)
On the surface, the Mariners look to have the edge in this starting pitching matchup. When diving deeper into this matchup, it's worth considering that the Mariners have been one of the worst teams in the MLB at hitting left handed pitching this season. As a team, Seattle is hitting just .198 against southpaws. The Phillies are starting Bailey Falter today. He’s a lefty that carries good momentum into this game. In Falter’s last start, he pitched on the road against a White Sox lineup that notoriously crushes lefties. He only allowed 3 hits in 7 innings. In Bailey Falter’s lone home start this season, he pitched 5 strong innings. Mariners starter Logan Gilbert is a highly talented 6 foot 6 righty. He’s a former 1st round pick in 2018. Gilbert records a lot of strikeouts, but the Phillies hit right handed pitching extremely well. Only the Rays have better metrics against right handed pitching. We will look for the Phillies offensive edge to be the difference. Give us the plus money on the home dogs.
