Seattle Mariners vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction: An evenly matched contest

In Major League Baseball action this weekend at T-Mobile Park, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Seattle Mariners will kick off their three-game interleague series with a matchup in game one.

The Seattle Mariners defeated the Los Angeles Angels by a score of 3-2 in the game that served as the series finale on Wednesday, claiming a decisive victory in the fight for the postseason. The victory moved the Seattle Mariners' overall record to 81-65, putting them 1.5 games behind in the fight for first place in the American League West while allowing them to maintain their grasp on the American League's last Wild Card slot. Cal Raleigh has 27 home runs, while Julio Rodriguez has 29 home runs for the Mariners so far this season. Julio Rodriguez also leads the Mariners with 164 hits and 95 RBIs. This season, Teoscar Hernandez of the Seattle Mariners has hit 25 home runs and driven in 86 runs, while Eugenio Suarez of the Mariners has hit 19 home runs of his own and has also driven in 85 runs. In addition, J.P. Crawford has a batting average of.264 and an on-base percentage of.381 so far this season.

After losing the last game of their series against the San Diego Padres by a score of 6-1 on Wednesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to get back on track in this contest. The defeat brought the Los Angeles Dodgers' overall record to 88-57, but they maintained their commanding lead in the National League West standings despite the setback. Max Muncy is right behind Mookie Betts with 35 home runs of his own and 98 RBIs. Mookie Betts leads the Los Angeles Dodgers in both home runs and RBIs with 39, while Max Muncy is close behind him with 103. This season, J.D. Martinez has hit 26 home runs and driven in 84 runs, while Freddie Freeman has hit a team-high 194 batters and driven in 93 runs, maintaining a batting average of.337 and an on-base percentage of.414 in addition to hitting 26 home runs and 55 doubles. This game will be started by the Dodgers' Bobby Miller, who is 9-3 on the season with a 3.98 earned run average and 92 strikeouts.

I'm taking a look at the Seattle Mariners, but I'm not in a hurry to place a wager on this game. The Los Angeles Dodgers have a strong lineup, but it appears as though they are content to simply cruise to the finish line now that they have a comfortable lead in their division. Even though they are competing against one of the top teams in all of baseball, the Mariners can ill afford to make a mistake because George Kirby has pitched much better at home this season. I believe that the Seattle Mariners are capable of competing adequately in this game, and I believe that the Mariners will pick up the win that they desperately require to open the series.
