Mariners vs Dodgers Prediction
I’m on the Mariners here. The Dodgers are pretty much locked into the 3-seed in the National League, and they’ll be playing in the Wild Card round. On the other side, the Mariners have won the AL West, but the Mariners are still trying to procure a first round bye to skip the Wild Card round. Regardless of who the Mariners send out, I’d argue they’ll have the starting pitching edge unless it’s a spot starter or a call-up, which I don’t necessarily see from Seattle here. I think the Mariners draw first blood here, so give me Seattle at home.
