Seattle Mariners Probable Pitchers & Starting Lineup vs Philadelphia Phillies, 4/25

The Mariners are back after a day off, having made the trip across the county to take on the Philadelphia Phillies. It's a tough matchup against the NL Champions of last year, but the Mariners are in a good position to give them a run for their money in this series. It's the start of a long road trip, where they will see stops in Toronto and Oakland as well. Let's get to it and see who is set to take the field in the opener.

Ty France, three-hit game, incoming. Be ready. Also, JP has a good game against his former team.

Are Mariners set to turn a corner?

They're 10-12, and plenty of fans are still cautiously optimistic about the team. You'd think with the blown leads, injuries, and rough record in close games, that this team would be a lot worse than 10-12. Yet, that's where they are, and I think things are going to be okay. They miss Nola and Wheeler in this series, and that's a huge advantage that they HAVE to take advantage of. I think the expectation should be to win the series, and you can't let an o
