Mariners at Phillies picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 5, Phillies 4
The MARINERS (-120) are the pick in this matchup with Gilbert getting off to a solid start. Meanwhile, Walker has struggled with walks to begin the season.
PASS.
While I believe the Phillies +1.5 (-165) can keep this game close, I wouldn’t advise taking them to cover the spread at the current odds.
