The Los Angeles Dodgers will head up to the Pacific Northwest to start an interleague series this Friday from T-Mobile Park.

Dodgers Preview & Projected Starter

Los Angeles moved to 87-55 after dropping two of three to San Diego. The Los Angeles offense is scoring 5.04 runs per game, while batting .248, with a .330 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 4.50 ERA, with a 1.28 WHIP.

Bobby Miller (9-3, 3.98 ERA, 92 Ks) will make the start for Los Angeles. The rookie righty managed to go seven innings in DC last time out, but he gave up five runs and wasn’t awarded the decision. Miller followed up his strong outing versus Atlanta with another lengthy appearance, and he’ll aim for a third straight here in Seattle.

Dodgers Player Trends & Props

Mookie Betts leads LAD in home runs (39) and RBI (103). while batting an impressive .313.

Freddie Freeman doubled in a run in series finale in Miami, and he leads the Dodgers in BA (.333) and hits (183), with 26 homers and 93 runs batted in.

Max Muncy has recorded a hit in seven of the last ten games, and he’s totaled 35 home runs and 98 RBI for the season.

Mariners Preview & Projected Starter

Seattle moved to 80-65 after taking two of three from LAA. The Seattle offense is 3.87 scoring runs per game, while batting .234, with a .313 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 3.55 ERA, with a 1.19 WHIP.

George Kirby (10-9, 3.48 ERA, 151 Ks) will start for Seattle. The second-year pitcher struggled in Tampa last week, allowing four runs thru 6.1 innings en route to a M’s loss. Kirby hasn’t opened the month of September well, and after allowing three runs or more in four straight starts, he’ll now have the task of containing the Dodgers this Friday.

Mariners Player Trends & Props

Julio Rodriguez leads Seattle in batting (.286) and hits (171), with 30 home runs and 99 RBI.

Teoscar Hernandez has multiple hits in seven of the last ten games, and he’s posting splits of .264/25/88.

Eugenio Suarez has totaled 18 homers and 83 RBI for the season.

J.P. Crawford has totaled multiple bases in four of the last six games, and he’s posting a line of .268/12/42.

Corey’s Free Pick

Seattle has to play big this weekend, as a series loss at this point in the season will only hinder their playoff hopes, and they will face quite the test here with Los Angeles. I believe both teams will take games this weekend, and with the hosts needing to win now, they may come out swinging. With the magic number sitting a bit low, I like backing the Over for this interleague matchup.
