Mariners at Phillies picks and predictions
Mariners 4, Phillies 3
Moneyline
Seattle is just 1-4 over its last 5 games, but 3 of those 4 losses were by margins of 1 or 2 runs. That stretch was preceded by an 8-game winning streak.
Gilbert is the hurler with the better recent form. He's had some home-run problems at times but likely gets the benefit of a cooled off evening with an inward-blowing pitcher's breeze.
BACK SEATTLE (-105).
Run line/Against the spread
No interest. PASS.
Over/Under
The Under is 4-2 in Seattle's last 6 games and 6-1-2 across Philadelphia's last 9.
Peg the weather forecast as one helping the pitchers. And the Mariners lineup has struggled against southpaws in recent weeks. Both offenses get a decent part of their production in the run game, and both starters are solid in keeping stolen bases in check.
The back ends of both bullpens are well-rested.
TAKE THE UNDER 7.5 (-105).

Sophomore CB has been 'one of the shining stars' for Texas A&M this preseason
Texas A&M's 2025 cornerback rotation features familiar faces with Will Lee III, Tyreek Chappell and Dezz Ricks returning to the lineup, while Georgia transfer Julian Humphrey and Washington transfer Jordan Shaw provide adequate depth to a room that struggled down the stretch of the 2024 season. Coach Mike Elko will now be calling defensive plays, and knowing his background coaching the secondary, this group shouldn't be a unit opposing teams looking forward to testing through the air. While Will Lee is seen as the most dependable veteran on the roster, Ricks has been hard at work during the preseason. After the Aggies' 16th preseason practice on Tuesday, the former five-star prospect spoke to the media for the first time this year, finally providing insight on why he chose Texas A&M after transferring from Alabama, stating that his familiarity with defensive coordinator Jay Bateman sealed the deal. Bateman, who had a big part in landing Ricks from the portal, revealed on Tuesday that Ricks played over 650-plus snaps during his redshirt freshman season in 2024, which is exceptionally challenging for any young player. Still, his improvement this month has been nothing short of impressive, calling him "one of the shining stars" during the preseason. At wide receiver, Elko, OC Collin Klein, and WR Holmon Wiggins deserve the credit for landing KC Concepcion and Mario Craver from the transfer portal. At the same time, sophomore Ashton Bethel-Roman has been another "shining star" due to his elite speed and fluid route running. Ricks, who has covered all three players in practice, is excited to see just how good Texas A&M's passing game can be, knowing the talent level has dramatically increased. "KC (Concepcion), he's really good, how he runs routes, Mario Craver, real twitchy guy, Ashton Bethel-Roman, a lot of speed, he can stretch the field." Elko and Bateman's trust in Ricks shouldn't be surprising to anyone knowing his talent level, while his 6'1", 188-pound frame, length, and impressive speed make him one of the top candidates to improve significantly, and is still on track to earn one of the two starting outside corner spots.

The Sports Report: Matthew Stafford's back seems to be improving
From Gary Klein: Matthew Stafford's second day of practice lacked the anticipation and drama of the first. But Tuesday's performance was a milestone nonetheless for the star quarterback and a Rams team with designs on a Super Bowl title. The biggest takeaway: Stafford's injured back responded positively to Monday's one-hour workout, enabling the 17th-year pro to play with even more confidence as the Rams prepare for their Sept. 7 opener against the Houston Texans. 'The reality is we're trying to get our hands on this and get him to feel as good as possible,' coach Sean McVay said. 'Backs can be a volatile thing. This is definitely positive progress. … It certainly is trending in a positive direction for us.' Continue reading here From Kevin Baxter: Mookie Betts was the first Dodgers position player out on the field Tuesday, walking to a spot near the third-base foul line and kneeling on a mat before a coach, who began hitting soft ground balls to his right and left. It's a drill Betts does regularly to improve his defense. Betts' defense, however, really isn't a problem for the Dodgers. A six-time Gold Glove winner in right field, Betts moved to shortstop full-time this season, turning his old position over to Teoscar Hernández. And his defense has been a problem. But Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he isn't planning any changes to his lineup for the time being. 'Are we playing our best defensive lineup? No,' Roberts said. 'But I would say there's very few teams in the big leagues playing their best defensive lineup every night. Even in a postseason race, you've still got to score.' The Dodgers are definitely in a postseason race and Hernández absolutely helps them score, ranking second on the team in home runs (20) and RBIs (75) after going two for five with a run and an RBI in Tuesday's 11-4 rout of the Colorado Rockies. He also made two nice running catches. But then the Dodgers didn't need much defense Tuesday, pounding out 18 hits with every player in the lineup reaching base as least once. Newcomer Alex Call led the way with a career-high four hits, including a home run and a double, scoring three runs and driving in two others while falling a triple shy of the cycle. Continue reading here Dave Roberts says Dodgers haven't discussed moving Mookie Betts to right field Shaikin: Can L.A. decide on the Dodger Stadium gondola, or anything, in a timely manner? Dodgers box score MLB scores MLB standings Hunter Greene had 12 strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings, Noelvi Marte homered, doubled and drove in two runs, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Angels 6-4 on Tuesday night. Jose Trevino scored on a sacrifice fly by TJ Friedl and Gavin Lux followed with an RBI double off Kenley Jansen (5-3) in the ninth inning to give Cincinnati a 6-4 lead. Miguel Andujar was three for four with a double and two RBIs. Greene gave up three runs and six hits and walked none. Luis Mey (2-0) pitched the eighth inning and gave up Jo Adell's second solo homer of the game but got the win. Continue reading here Angels box score MLB scores MLB standings From Kevin Baxter: Alan Shearer was in his prime and in the starting lineup for Blackburn when the English Premier League kicked off its first season 33 summers ago. Shearer scored two goals that day in a 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace. But he had no idea that season would give birth to the most dominant force in the history of club soccer — and perhaps the most dominant force in the history of international sports. 'There's no way anyone could have predicted back in 1992 that it was going to be this incredible, huge, gigantic force that it's become,' said Shearer, who would go on to become the leading scorer in EPL history, of the Premier League. 'It is sort of chalk and cheese in terms of where it was then to where it is now.' That's an English way of saying the league, which kicked off a new season Friday, has progressed.

Wisconsin football transfer edge named to Comeback Player of the Year watch list
Wisconsin football transfer edge rusher Mason Reiger was named to the Comeback Player of the Year watch list on Tuesday. Reiger, who missed the entire 2024 slate with a knee injury, was one of 75 players across 51 programs to earn a spot on the preseason list. Including Reiger, a total of 13 players from the Big Ten appeared on the lengthy list. The 6-foot-5 outside linebacker joined Luke Fickell's program in December following four seasons with the Louisville Cardinals. In 32 total games from 2021-23, the Illinois native logged 49 total tackles (32 solo), 17 for loss, 8.0 sacks, four forced fumbles and three pass deflections. As a redshirt junior in 2023, Reiger tallied a career-best 22 tackles and 5.0 sacks. In a top-10 win over Notre Dame, he showed out with a season-high four tackles, two sacks for 12 yards and one forced fumble. As a transfer this winter, Reiger was considered 247Sports' No. 18 overall edge and a four-star prospect. His addition to the Badgers' defense, which accounted for 17 total sacks and 42 tackles for loss in 2024, will provide a much-needed boost in scenarios where Mike Tressel elects to hunt the opposing quarterback. Reiger projects to line up at right outside linebacker ahead of veteran Aaron Witt. Darryl Peterson, Tackett Curtis and Christian Alliegro are slated to accompany the first-year Badger as starters in the linebacker room -- a group that has traditionally performed at a high level at the center of the Wisconsin defense.
