Philadelphia Phillies vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction
The Phillies were absolutely dominating their division through the first half of the season, and while a six game lead is still strong, it's dwindling fast. I sort of brushed off Atlanta already this season, but if Philadelphia continues to play like this, there is a chance Atlanta could take the division.
With that said, there are still over 50 games left in the season and I do not see that happening, but Philly has to know they are killing themselves right now, momentum and confidence is shot. Bryce Harper is in the middle of the worst slump I have ever seen him in, and Trea Turner is coming off an awful homestand as well. Two guys do not make the lineup, but they are a crucial part of this team and they have been losing.
If the Phillies drop this series to Seattle, that will be five straight series losses out of the All-Star break. Another loss tonight also marks five straight losses. I don’t love the pitching matchup here, I actually would give Seattle the edge, but part of me just thinks this weekend is where they bust out of the slump and it should start on Friday night after a day off. This is pretty much a pick 'em price, so I will ride.
