Mariners at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 4, Mariners 3
Moneyline
The DODGERS (-178) are quite pricey in Wednesday’s battle, but they’re worth the play behind Flaherty.
Gilbert has pitched well for the Mariners (+150), but the offense has dried up when he has taken the hill. Seattle has plated 7 runs, or 2.33 RPG, in his past 3 starts, and the M’s have scored 3 or fewer runs in 6 of his past 9 outings.
Run line/Against the spread
The MARINERS +1.5 (-152) are a strong play if you’d like a little bit of insurance on the moneyline.
It takes a little bit of a leap of faith, as the Mariners have been awful lately, winning just once in the past 8 outings. Still, Gilbert usually pitches well enough to have Seattle hanging around. He has easily been one of the team’s top starting pitcher options.

Over/Under
UNDER 7.5 (-110) is the lean, but go very lightly.
The Mariners have scored 22 runs in the past 8 games, with 10 of those runs coming Sunday.
For the Dodgers, the Under is on a 3-0-1 roll in the past 4 outings while going 2-1-1 in the past 4 contests at home.
