Overview
- The Phillies opened a three‑game interleague set at T‑Mobile Park and entered the trip on a nine‑game winning streak with a 73‑58 record and a magic number of 27 for clinching a National League playoff spot.
- Zack Wheeler started Monday for Philadelphia and Aaron Nola is scheduled to start Tuesday against Seattle’s George Kirby while Jesús Luzardo is lined up for the series' third game.
- The Mariners will be without Brendan Donovan (concussion) and Luke Raley (forearm) according to published injury updates, which could alter Seattle’s lineup matchups at the plate and on defense.
- Data model projections reported by Dimers give Seattle a slight edge for Tuesday’s game and lean toward the over on a 7.5 run total, with the site’s simulations showing about a 52% Mariners win probability and a roughly 55% chance the game exceeds 7.5 runs.
- Local coverage for the series is on NBC Sports Philadelphia with streaming available to viewers in the Philadelphia market via nbcsportsphiladelphia.com and the NBCSP app and national carry on services such as FuboTV, Hulu, Peacock, and YouTube TV.
