LA Dodgers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

I’m on the Dodgers here. Jack Flaherty hasn’t been as sharp as can be for his new club, but he’s been good enough, and the strikeouts are still there, which is key against this Mariner lineup. Seattle just can’t get the offense going, and it’s going to be the reason this team misses out on the playoffs. The Dodgers are starting to heat up once again, and I think they complete the sweep here. Give me Los Angeles in this one.
