Los Angeles Dodgers Betting
The Los Angeles Dodgers slide in sporting a 13-3 record. The Dodgers had an 8-game win streak snapped by the San Diego Padres and will be looking to bet back on the winning side of things. Albeit, their spot atop the NL West isn’t under threat seeing as how they have a 3½-game lead over both the Padres and San Francisco Giants. And since the Dodgers are 10-2 in their last 12 against Seattle, it’s looking like LA will get back to their winning ways. It’s safe to say tonight’s MLB moneyline is certainly expecting the same.
Let’s check the latest MLB picks, stats, injury reports, and MLB predictions. We’ve plenty of MLB expert picks for you to consider.
Numbers-wise Los Angeles is clearly among the MLB Elite. They step into this contest ranked 2nd in runs (90) and 1st in on-base percentage (.354) while their pitching ranks 1st in quality starts (11) and 2nd in ERA (2.79).
For comparison, the Mariners rank 10th in runs (70) and 18th in on-base percentage (.306). Their pitching fares worse as they rank 16th in quality starts (4th) and 16th in ERA (4.12) as well. All in all, it’s clear the visiting team has the upper hand here.
Players to Watch: Justin Turner (5 HR, 16 RBI, .404 AVG), Corey Seager (2 HR, 10 RBI, .288 AVG), and Max Muncy (3 HR, 10 RBI, .302 AVG).
Seattle Mariners Betting
The Seattle Mariners enter with a 10-6 record that puts them in contention for the top spot in the AL West. However, the Los Angeles Angels and Oakland Athletics are in the race as well. Through 16 games, Seattle has failed to create any sort of separation. For this reason, the MLB Division 2021 odds are giving the Mariners the fourth-best odds in the AL West.
Despite a 4-1 record through their last 5-games, the Mariners enter as the betting underdog at home. LHP Justus Sheffield gets the start, with an 0-1 record as well as a 4.91 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. Opposing is RHP Dustin May who is 1-0 with an eye-catching 1.74 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. Clearly, things are looking down for Seattle.
Players to Watch: Mitch Haniger (4 HR, 14 RBI, .338 AVG), Ty France (3 HR, 10 RBI, .305 AVG), and Kyle Seager (2 HR, 12 RBI, .254 AVG).

Prediction
The Dodgers are the better team and should come out on top. Now, the question is what’s the best bet? If you’re feeling adventurous, I really like the odds on Justin Turner’s over ½ a home run. Turner has five, leading the Dodgers and Sheffield has already given up a pair of homers.
Now if you’re looking for something less sensational you can take the Dodgers straight up. The odds aren’t great but it’s almost guaranteed. However, if you wanted better odds you can take Los Angeles all around with a Dodgers-Angels parlay. This would net you a nicer payout while still keeping the risk pretty low.
Pick: Dodgers 6, Mariners 3
Pick: Dodgers & Angels Parlay
