T.M. Selection: Phillies/Mariners OVER.

I am on the over in the Philadelphia Phillies vs Seattle Mariners game on Monday. The Phillies have been involved in some high scoring affairs lately with 2/3 of their previous 3 games seeing 7+ runs in them and I think this is going to be another game with tons of runs in them. The Mariners have been in the same situation with 4/5 of their previous 5 games seeing 7+ runs too. The Mariners have been giving up a ton of runs in these games too since their pitching hasn't been great lately and they don't have a good starter on the bump here either. Chris Flexen (1-4, 3.10 ERA) is up for the Mariners and his club has only won 1/5 of his 5 starts this year. He hasn't been completely terrible in his starts but he has been consistently giving up runs in their games. I think the Phillies have been hitting the ball well lately and I expect them to bring in some runs on the Mariners here. Ranger Suarez (2-1, 4.63 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he has some wins under his belt already but he has been getting a lot of help with lots of runs support from his team in their games and he has also consistently been giving up runs in his starts too, giving up 3+ runs in a majority of his starts. The Phillies have won 4/5 of the 5 games he has started in though and his team has put up 4+ runs themselves in all of those games. The Phillies have ben starting to get a hot a bit lately but I think they need to get a move on or the Mets will start to run away the division. I expect a big effort from the Phillies here to score lots of runs but the Mariners have also looked good in their home ballpark this year and I expect them to put up a good fight too. I see lots of runs being scored in this game so I like the over here.

T.M. Prediction: 6-4 Phillies.
