Mariners vs. Dodgers Prediction: Dodgers ML -150
Our prediction for this one is that the Dodgers will pick up a win at home, and we have them taking it by a score of 6-5. Given that they are at -150 on the money line, that is the route we recommend going.
If you're looking for a parlay, you could look to the over/under line, which is sitting at 8.5 runs. We have this one going over, but just barely, so we would stick with a Dodgers win.
