Why The Dodgers Could Cover The Spread
Shelby Miller will be used as an opener in this game. However, he is having a fantastic season out of the bullpen. He has a 2.00 ERA, 9.0 K/9, and opponents are batting just .114 off him. With it being September, I would not be surprised if he went around three innings in this game. The Mariners are not a very good hitting team, and they strike out a decent amount. Miller is just the opener, but how you start a game is just as important as anything. If Miller can come out and throw two or three scoreless innings, he will set the tone for the rest of the game, and the Dodgers will cover the spread.
Why The Mariners Could Cover The Spread
Seattle has one of their better pitchers on the mound. Gilbert is 13-5 with a 3.62 ERA, 176 strikeouts, and a 1.06 WHIP. Opponents are batting .234 off him, as well. Gilbert has allowed three runs or fewer in seven of his last eight starts. The Mariners need him to be at the top of his game in this one. If Gilbert can go deep into this game, and give the bullpen som reast, the Mariners will cover. He needs to go six innings at least, though.
Final Dodgers-Mariners Prediction & Pick
This should be a close game. The Dodgers are one of the better teams in all of baseball, and the Mariners are leaning on their young starting pitcher. Gibert is good, and more than capable of a good outing. However, the Dodgers are the underdogs. I think the Dodgers keep this game close and cover the spread.
Final Dodgers-Mariners Prediction & Pick: Dodgers +1.5 (-140), Over 7.5 (-120)
