Los Angeles Dodgers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction: Dodgers are expected to take their chances in this opener

In Major League Baseball, the ​​Los Angeles Dodgers will play the Seattle Mariners at Dodger Stadium. This will be the opener of a three-game series. Let’s preview this game and make a prediction.

The ​​Los Angeles Dodgers are coming off a series against the St. Louis Cardinals, and they won. The ​​Los Angeles Dodgers started with a 6-7 win in that series. However, this team lost in game two by three runs but then bounced back in the finale in a 1-2 encounter. However, the ​​Los Angeles Dodgers have lost only one of their recent series, coming against the Milwaukee Brewers. ​​The Los Angeles Dodgers have a 73-52 record this season, leaving them seated 2nd in the National League.  

The Seattle Mariners are coming off a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, which they lost. In that game, the Seattle Mariners started with defeats in games one and two, which ended in games 5-3 and 7-2. However, their finale encounter was good, as they won 3-10. In the meantime, the Seattle Mariners have lost their last two series, as their first was against the Detroit Tigers. Heading into this game, the Seattle Mariners are seated 8th in the American League with a 64-61 record.  

I will take the Los Angeles Dodgers in this game. Lately, the home team has been excellent, with a number of great performances. While the Seattle Mariners do not look set for now, I believe they have a lot of work to do here, especially on the road. Regardless, this could be a tight one, but expect it to end with a few runs.
