Philadelphia Phillies (65-44) vs. Seattle Mariners (58-53)
As a result, the Philadelphia Phillies enter this game with an impressive record of 65-44, which shows how well they have played all season. The team has a .255 batting average with 529 runs scored and 951 hits. They get their offensive productivity from having hit 134 home runs and carrying themselves with a .327 on-base percentage. On the pitching side, the team holds an ERA of 3.62 and WHIP of 1.18, making it hard for the opponents to get a higher score due to their low .233 batting average against them. However, despite their impressive statistics, the Phillies are currently in a five-game losing streak and haven’t fared well away from Citizens Bank Park going just 2-7 in their past nine road games.
In contrast, Seattle Mariners have demonstrated some endurance and competitiveness with a record of 58-53. They have registered a batting average of .219 but were able to accumulate 441 runs on hitting 797 balls as well as hitting one hundred twenty-nine home runs. This would be most readily seen in the Mariners’ pitchers who posted an ERA of about 3.45 combined with any other similar noteworthy statistics related to limiting opponent’s BAs like WHIP (1.08) or opponents’ batters average (.221). Having won five out of seven contests recently, Seattle seeks to continue this trend at home regardless of its previous record during two-seven series at T-Mobile Park recently.
Kolby Allard (0-0, 6.75 ERA) vs. Bryce Miller (8-7, 3.46 ERA)
Particularly, Kolby Allard has had an abbreviated season for the Philadelphia Phillies as he could only pitch in four innings. In these innings, he allowed six hits and a home run with a 6.75 ERA and a WHIP of 1.5. Little as it is, this sample size shows that Allard needs to be far more accurate and less erratic in his pitching before the Phillies can hope to compete on even terms in today’s contest. A key aspect of that challenge will be his ability to maneuver through the Seattle lineup without surrendering early runs which has been tough for him.
On the contrary, Bryce Miller of the Seattle Mariners has shown much more consistency this year going 8-7 with a 3.46 ERA over 122.1 IP. As well as allowing only one baserunner every inning per frame or fewer (109 K’s vs. 29 BBs), he has given up only sixteen long balls all year too – by doing so keeping opposing runners from scoring easily on him at least those times when they did manage to get past him in their games played against him till now. It will be important for the Mariners’ chances of winning this game that Miller does not give up any early runs while maintaining consistent performance under pressure.
MLB Odds/Point Spread: Seattle Mariners -1.5 (+160), Total Odds: 8
Seattle is the favorite in this game for the bookmakers, and they are given a -1.5 (+160) on spread and -130 on moneyline. The total is at 8 with -118 for over or -102 for under. Considering recent trends as well as team statistics, betting on the total going over is not a bad idea. Both teams have had a lot of overs lately, which suggests that they love playing high-scoring affairs.
Philadelphia Phillies Betting Trends
Five of the last Phillies’ matches have gone over, suggesting that they are more likely to be high-scoring. In addition to this, they also lost all their last five games and seem not used to playing away because they won only twice during their last nine away matches. Furthermore, Philadelphia hasn’t done well in their previous eight matches with American League teams. This provides several problems for Philadelphia in this game.
Seattle Mariners Betting Trends
The form in Seattle is spiking, with total going over in six of their last seven matches. This means that they’ve won 5 out of the 7 games played recently. Even though their home record has been modest at best with a 2-7 record for the last nine home games; it has been different when playing against the National League where Seattle Mariners have had an average run performance according to four out of five previous such games. These trends indicate that Seattle could just win this match.
Philadelphia Phillies vs. Seattle Mariners 8/3/24 Betting Picks
With the way things are going and what the numbers show, it appears that the Mariners have an advantage in this game. According to recent statistics where Bryce Miller has been performing consistently and with Seattle having a winning streak at present, they appear to be better placed than their opponents in this match-up. However, Phillies’ recent road form and their struggles against American League teams are worrying signs for anyone who may want to bet on them winning this game.
For anyone thinking of placing bets, taking the Mariners on the moneyline at -130 should make sense. Alternatively, one can also go for over 8 runs at -118 considering both team’s scoring trends being high-scoring. From prop bets perspective is to concentrate on Bryce Miller’s strikeouts which will be beneficial based on his high strikeout ratio so far in this season. Generally speaking our MLB tips and picks lean towards taking Seattle in what promises to be a thrilling interleague encounter.’
