The Mariners won the battle of the Slumping Offenses last night, with the M’s bats breaking out in a big way against Tyler Phillips and the Phillies. Tonight the Phillies will throw an interpretation of a bullpen game, with Orion Kerkering acting as an opener for Kolby Allard, who will go as far as he can against his old AL West foes. The Mariners will send Bryce Miller to the mound to face Philadelphia’s terrifying collection of lefty hitters (Schwarber, Harper, Marsh, Stott).

I might lightly criticize this lineup card for making it seem like Justin Turner, not Bryce Miller, is Chum the Sharks’s best friend, but then I look at the Phillies graphic and all sins are absolved by comparison.
