Garver's ability to drive in runs and contribute to the team's offense has been evident in his recent performances.

The Philadelphia Phillies will be facing a formidable Mariners lineup, which has been consistent in scoring runs. However, their pitching will be tested against power hitters like Garver. The Phillies have struggled with consistency in their bullpen, making it crucial for their starters to go deep into games. With Garver's ability to generate offense, the Phillies' pitchers will need to be sharp to limit his impact.
