Probable Pitcher: Chris Flexen (1-4, 3.10 ERA)
Flexen will be on the mound in the 1st game of the series for the Mariners. Flexen got the loss during Tuesday's 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Astros, allowing one run on two hits and three walks with two strikeouts in five innings.
BETTING TRENDS
Philadelphia are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games.
Philadelphia are 4-13 SU in their last 17 games on the road.
Seattle are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Seattle's last 5 games against Philadelphia.
Prediction
Two struggling teams will face here, the Phillies have been bad on the road so far as they have won only 3 of 10 games away from home. The Mariners are 8-5 at home this season but have lost 3 of their last 4 in Seattle. If we look at the pitching matchup, Suarez has allowed 3 runs in his each of the last 2 starts while Flexen allowed 1 run in 2 of his last 3 starts. The Mariners should take care of business at home and beat the Phillies in the 1st of the series.
