Best MLB bets today: Mariners vs. Phillies prediction, picks, props for August 18

The Seattle Mariners and Philadelphia Phillies are each vying for division crowns, and they'll both have the chance to improve their positioning during their three-game set in Philadelphia this week. They start off their series at 6:45 p.m. ET on Monday, August 18, on MLB Network, as the Phillies look to improve their 5-game NL East lead and the Mariners look to cut into their 1.5-game AL West deficit. 

Those interested in MLB betting at the top sportsbooks can get the latest Mariners vs. Phillies odds, predictions and player props from the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every game 10,000 times.

The Mariners are sending out Logan Gilbert (3-4, 3.31 ERA), and the Phillies are counting on southpaw Ranger Suarez (8-6, 3.28 ERA). Gilbert has surrendered two or fewer earned runs in four of his past six outings and struck out at least six batters in all six efforts but has gone just 1-1 over that span. Suarez entered August with a 2.68 ERA, but his ERA has gone up to 3.28 after giving up 14 earned runs in 18.2 innings this month. 

Himbos: Mariners at Phillies Series Preview

The Mariners look to salvage their road trip with a visit to Philadelphia.

You wake up with the blanket tucked beneath your chin and your right leg stretched out on top of the covers. Your mouth and the soft skin beneath your eyes feels lightly dried out by the air conditioning as you dress for the day. When you open your apartment door, a stagnant warmth greets you. Rent is a steal for this place, but every so often it feels more commensurate than you’d like.

Down the stairs you traipse, 163-year-old stairs yowling with each step. The small atrium door sticks initially and you bodily shove it open, throw open the front door and emerge onto the stoop.

Phillies announce lineup vs Seattle Mariners for Monday's game

PHILADELPHIA − Ranger Suarez hopes to give the Phillies' pitching situation a positive jolt when he steps onto the mound to face Seattle at Citizens Bank Park on Aug. 18.

First pitch is a 6:45 p.m. The game airs on NBC Sports Philadelphia.

The news of Zach Wheeler being sidelined by a blood clot and Aaron Nola's shaky return from the injured list in a loss at Washington on Aug. 17 certainly causes concern.

Likewise, Suarez, who is 8-6 with a 3.18 ERA in 18 starts this year, hopes to return to his early-season form. He has a 6.59 ERA and has given up 39 hits and 21 runs in his last five starts.
