The read

This game reads much closer to a coin flip than the price suggests, so I’m taking Seattle at plus money. Bryan Woo has a 1.96 ERA at T-Mobile Park, where the Mariners are 8-2 in his starts. Jesús Luzardo counters with a 1.95 road ERA, and Philadelphia is 11-2 in those starts. However, Seattle’s six right-handed hitters and two switch-hitters face the side against which Luzardo has allowed a .735 OPS. Woo has held left-handed hitters to a .676 OPS, relevant against Philadelphia’s six left-handed bats.

Philadelphia’s bullpen is the concern: it owns a 3.47 ERA and a 2.18 ERA over the last seven games, compared with Seattle’s 4.01 and 5.88 marks. Woo’s return from shoulder soreness also keeps this from being a high-confidence play, although he was cleared after his bullpen session. Still, Seattle has already won this series’ first two games 9-2 and 4-1, Woo’s home performance is established, and the lineup construction gives the Mariners a measurable route against Luzardo. At +116, I’ll trust Seattle to finish the sweep.
