Mariners vs Dodgers predictions and forecasts
prediction
Dodgers 3, Mariners 1
Money Line
I have high hopes for Wu and that he will keep the team in games, but I think Seattle's offense is weak. Before yesterday's 10 points, they had scored 2, 3, 1, 2 and 1 in their last 5 games.
I bet on the Dodgers -145.
Against run line/spread
As for Wu, he has struck out five or more batters in his last three starts, striking out in four of the five innings. If he strikes out again, the team gives us plus money. Bet on Brian Wu to strike out 4.5 or more (+115).
Over/Under
The only way it would go over is if Wu collapsed, which I don't think will happen. He has allowed a total of 10 runs in his past seven starts. The Dodgers scored two runs each in Saturday's and Sunday's games, but first baseman Freddie Freeman was nursing a finger injury.
Bet on UNDER 8 (+100).
