LA Dodgers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

I’m not running to the window to get behind Walker Buehler and his struggles, but I have no choice. Bryce Miller has been the better pitcher this season, but the Mariners can’t string together offense, so it doesn’t matter. The Mariners have scored 3 or fewer runs in 9 of their last 14 Games, and they’ve been shutout twice this month. The Mariners went from having a double-digit Game lead in the AL West to now being 5 Games back and looking like they’re not going to make the postseason. Massive collapse for the Mariners. Want no part of it. Give me the Dodgers.
