Seattle Mariners vs Los Angeles Dodgers Picks and Predictions September 27th 2025

Los Angeles Dodgers vs Seattle Mariners Betting Preview

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Seattle Mariners meet again Saturday night at T-Mobile Park, both already locked into their postseason seeds but still looking to close strong. The Dodgers (91-69) evened the series Friday with a 3-2 win, powered by Enrique Hernandez’s two-run homer and a late bullpen stand. The Mariners (90-70) saw their seven-game winning streak snapped — and more concerning, slugger Josh Naylor exited early with a groin injury.

Matchup Breakdown

Dodgers Outlook

The Dodgers’ offense is among the league’s most feared, ranking 2nd in both slugging and home runs. Shohei Ohtani leads the charge with 54 long balls, while Freddie Freeman remains a steady threat from the left side. Rookie Roki Sasaki continues to sharpen his relief role, showing wipeout stuff in key spots.

Tyler Glasnow (4-3, 3.30 ERA) has rediscovered his groove, winning his last three starts. His fastball-slider combo has been lethal, and he closed strong last weekend with four shutout innings after a rough opening frame. If Glasnow can avoid early damage, Los Angeles has the bullpen and lineup to grind out another win.

Mariners Outlook

Seattle’s momentum took a hit with Friday’s loss — and Josh Naylor’s injury casts doubt on their offensive depth. Cal Raleigh remains the engine, pacing MLB with 60 home runs, while Eugenio Suárez adds veteran power.

Logan Gilbert (6-6, 3.43 ERA) has been a stabilizer in September, with back-to-back wins including six strong innings against Houston. His track record against the Dodgers is shaky (0-2, 10.24 ERA), but his recent form suggests improvement. If Seattle can get six innings from Gilbert, their bullpen has the arms to hold late leads.

Key Battle

Glasnow’s power stuff vs. Seattle’s power bats. The Mariners feast on mistakes, but Glasnow has been locked in recently. Meanwhile, Gilbert must contain Ohtani and Freeman — who thrive against right-handers — to give Seattle a chance.

Injuries and Conditions

Weather: Mild with overcast clouds, retractable roof likely closed if showers move in.

Best Bets and Prediction

Both teams are playoff-bound, but Seattle’s lineup is thinner without Naylor. Glasnow’s hot streak and L.A.’s power edge make the Dodgers a strong value play as underdogs.

• Pick: Dodgers ML +100
• Projected Score: Dodgers 5, Mariners 4
• Reasoning: Glasnow continues hot streak, Dodgers’ power bats edge Gilbert late.
• Lean: Over 7.5 (-110)
