Seattle's versatile offense is 10th in runs scored, 12th in on-base percentage, fourth in steals, and 11th in slugging. Luis Castillo (3.48 ERA) has had a fine season, while the bullpen is eighth in the majors in ERA (3.74). Philadelphia starter Jesus Luzardo has a 5.23 ERA at home, and the team is 6-8 in his last 14 starts. He comes off a 3-2 loss to Washington as a -200 favorite. Play Seattle.
