Los Angeles Dodgers look to extend winning streak against struggling Seattle Mariners

The Los Angeles Dodgers are entering this game with a two-game winning streak and having won three out of their last four games, while the Seattle Mariners have faced difficulties recently, losing six out of their last seven games. The Mariners have struggled significantly in scoring during these losses. It is expected that they will continue to face challenges in overcoming this trend, as Walker Buehler is projected to perform better than his previous outing, supported by the strong Dodgers bullpen. Even though Justin Miller showcased a strong performance in his last start, he lacked run support. It is likely that this pattern will continue in the upcoming game. The Dodgers are anticipated to deliver clutch hits and perform effectively on the mound, ultimately securing a victory. As such, it is advisable to consider betting on the Dodgers at -150.
