The Seattle Mariners (64-62) and Los Angeles Dodgers (74-52) play the 2nd game of a 3-game set at Dodger Stadium Tuesday at 10:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Mariners vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Dodgers lead 1-0
We cashed all 3 bets Monday as the M’s fell to the mighty Dodgers 3-0 — L.A. cashed as -143 favorite and the Under (8) hit. Offense continues to be the issue as Seattle had just 2 hits and struck out 12 times. Excluding the Mariners’ 10-3 win Sunday to snap a 5-game losing streak, they scored 9 runs combined in the last 6 games. OF Julio Rodriguez is doing his part with a 6-game hitting streak, but his power is non-existent with 11 HRs on the year.
The Dodgers keep rolling, winners of 3 of 4 and 8 of 11. 3B Max Muncy had a successful return from the IL Monday night with a 2-run homer in his first game in 3 months. Tuesday’s key will be how much command SP Walker Buehler has as he allowed 4 walks in 3 1/3 innings in his last start.

Mariners at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Mariners 5, Dodgers 3
Moneyline
I like the MARINERS (-130) because Buehler has struggled with his command all year. He has allowed 3+ earned runs in 5 of his last 6 starts, and Miller has an awesome 1.91 ERA in his last 7 starts.
TAKE MARINERS (+130).
Run line/Against the spread
Miller has 5+ K’s in 4 of his last 5 starts, and he whiffed 9 in his last turn. I like BRYCE MILLER OVER 4.5 K’S (-110). The Dodgers are a little banged up or ripe with some bats recently returning from the IL.
Over/Under
It’s expected to be 80 degrees with an 8-mph wind blowing out upon first pitch, but it dissipates to 5 mph shortly after. Buehler has been bad, but the Mariners’ bats are in hibernation. Miller would have to implode to reach this total, so TAKE UNDER 9 (-120).
