Mariners vs. Dodgers Offense Outlook

Cal Raleigh has had a rough stretch at the plate for the Mariners, going 5/27 in his last seven games, but he does have three homers during that stretch and is 14th in the league with 78 RBIs. Julio Rodriguez comes into the game on a five-game hitting streak and is batting .264 for the season with 11 homers. Randy Arozarena has 16 homers this season but is batting just .216.

As a team, the Mariners are 27th in scoring at 4 runs per game and have the league’s worst team batting average at just .216. They are also near the bottom of the league in slugging, OPS, and on-base percentage. Seattle is also one of the league’s worst teams in terms of striking out.

Shohei Ohtani has been a key power bat for the Dodgers this season, as he is 2nd in the league with 39 homers and has driven in 88 runs, which is 7th in the MLB. However, Ohtani has struggled at the plate of late, hitting just .163 over his last 10 games. Teoscar Hernandez is also a big power threat in the lineup, as he is 2nd on the team with 26 homers and has driven in 80 runs.

As a team, the Dodgers are 3rd in home runs and are 5th in the league in runs scored at 4.9 runs per game. They have been even better at home, averaging 5 runs per contest. Overall, they are batting .252 as a team, which is 7th in the league.

Free Mariners vs. Dodgers MLB Pick

Despite having given up just three runs in three starts in the month of August, Bryan Woo has just one win in those outings. He pitched into the 7th inning in all three of these outings. On the other side, Gavin Stone has given up at least one homer in every outing since June 26th. At +122, I like the Mariners to pick up a win in this one.
