MLB BETTING PREDICTION:
If the Dodgers are as serious as they carry themselves to be they will win tonight. A chance to clinch the division on the road would be a statement win to put the NL on notice. Kershaw makes his return to the rotation which opens them up to rust and a Seattle surge. I expect tonight to be a repeat of last night. A close game where the prestige of Los Angeles eventually outweighs Seattle.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: LOS ANGELES DODGERS -150
