The Los Angeles Dodgers are sizable -160 favorites to get back in the win column tonight.

Nine of Seattle's last 10 losses have come by multiple runs, and my Mariners vs. Dodgers predictions and MLB picks expect that to be the case once again.

Who will win Mariners vs Dodgers today: Dodgers -1.5 (+120)

Emerson Hancock has several red flags masked by a 3.16 ERA. He ranks in the 40th percentile in xERA, the 21st in barrel rate, and the 16th in hard hit rate.

That is not ideal heading into a matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who lead the majors in OPS and rank second in hard-hit percentage against right-handed pitching.

Eric Lauer doesn’t exactly have a spotless profile, but the Seattle Mariners rank 25th in road OPS vs. left-handed pitching. It’ll be hard for them to keep up with a loaded Dodgers offense.

Bet this to +110.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Emerson Hancock's struggles getting hitters to chase will make it difficult to avoid contact against a Dodgers offense loaded with power.

Mariners vs Dodgers Over/Under pick: Under 9.5 (-110)

This total is too high. Hancock has not pitched as well as his ERA suggests, but he's still done some good things. He has limited homers effectively, and he ranks in the 82nd percentile in walk rate.

Opponents will have to string together hits against him, and the Dodgers rank 21st with a .239 average vs. righties in July.

The Mariners rank 29th with a putrid .084 ISO when facing lefties this month. Their lack of power will make scoring runs in bulk a big challenge.

I see real value here, and would bet the Under to -125.
