Dodgers vs Mariners Prediction 31 July 2026
📡 Seattle and Los Angeles are set for Game 2 of their series. At the time of writing this prediction, the opener was still underway, so both teams head into the next matchup without a definitive result in the head-to-head. The Dodgers are comfortably atop their division, while the Mariners are hovering around the .500 mark. On the mound, Roki Sasaki will face off against Bryan Woo.
Head-to-Head
📊 Heading into this matchup, the Dodgers have come out on top in their last 10 head-to-head meetings. Los Angeles consistently pull ahead in the middle innings and rarely allow Seattle to mount late-game rallies. That said, several of the Mariners’ defeats have been by the narrowest of margins, making the +1.5 run line a much safer bet than backing the visitors outright.
Head-to-head statistics Dodgers - Mariners

Los Angeles Dodgers Team Overview
The Dodgers boast one of the league’s best records this season and feature the deepest lineup in this matchup. They’re dominant at home and consistently put pressure on right-handed pitchers throughout the batting order. However, Sasaki has been inconsistent this year, which means the hosts don’t have a clear edge on the mound from the outset. His control issues could allow Seattle to keep things close until the bullpens come into play.

Seattle Mariners Team Overview
Seattle remain within striking distance of the American League West leaders. The Mariners are navigating a patchy run of form, but they boast a powerful lineup and a reliable late-inning bullpen. Their main asset is Bryan Woo, who has the ability to go six strong innings and keep the hosts from building an early lead. For the selected spread, the visitors don’t necessarily need to snap their head-to-head losing streak-it's enough for them to avoid losing by more than one run.
Match Results: Seattle Mariners
⚾ Starting Pitchers
Roki Sasaki takes the mound for Los Angeles with a 4-5 record, a 4.71 ERA, and 94 strikeouts. The right-hander often allows baserunners and tends to give up a few runs before getting deep into games.
Bryan Woo gets the start for Seattle, entering with a 7-7 record, a 4.37 ERA, and 114 strikeouts. He’s been slightly more consistent than Sasaki in terms of ERA and has notched 20 more strikeouts. On paper, this pitching matchup doesn’t offer the home side a clear edge.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
The head-to-head history is firmly in favor of the Dodgers, who have come out on top in each of the last 10 completed meetings. However, the (+1.5) run line gives Seattle some breathing room, allowing them to lose by a single run and still cover. Woo holds the edge over Sasaki in both ERA and strikeout numbers, suggesting the visitors can keep things close through the early innings. Los Angeles boast greater roster depth overall, but their starting pitcher has struggled for consistency this season. If the game comes down to the late relievers, the Mariners could well keep it within a run. For this matchup, backing the Seattle Mariners with a (+1.5) run line looks like a solid play.
