Phillies vs Mariners player props and over under picks as Philadelphia eyes 10th consecutive win

Baseball tends to be a season full of streaks from teams.

Some months, teams are awesome; some months they stink.

It is easier to notice the successes or failures of teams when they are earlier in the season.

You can see when a team is struggling more easily when their record is 11-16 as opposed to 55-59, for example.

What happens when one of the hottest teams in baseball takes on one of the coldest teams? That's what we have tonight as the Phillies play the Mariners.

The Philadelphia Phillies are one of the hottest teams in baseball, having won their ninth straight game yesterday on a walk-off homer.

It was a bit of a miraculous comeback as the Phillies were down 4-0 before the team scored six in the bottom of the ninth to win it.

The team has won 16 of their past 21 games and is now threatening to take over the Braves for the best team in the National League East.

It is fairly unlikely that they would miss the postseason , but that wasn't something that could be said before this stretch.

On July 31, they were just four games above .500 and looking like the team that started the season instead of the one that had a great turnaround.

Today the team sends out one of their aces, giving them a good chance to make it to 10 wins in a row as Zack Wheeler takes the hill.

Wheeler takes the ball today with a 10-4 record, 2.92 ERA, and a 1.01 WHIP.

He has also racked up 144 strikeouts.

He has been solid on the road this campaign with a slightly lower ERA at 2.67.
