Emmet Sheehan will get the nod on Friday.

The righty has been outstanding, conceding two or fewer runs in five straight outings and has delivered a 2.86 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP accompanied by a 6-3 record in 72.1 innings on the year. Sheehan issued three scoreless innings in his only career meeting against Seattle.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are on the road to end the season and are awaiting to see their opponent for the wildcard series next week. L.A. has secured the NL West yet again. They won a home series against the Giants last week and posted one win in the opening two games against the Diamondbacks this week, entering Thursday evening. The squad is 37-40 on the road.

Dodgers vs. Mariners Pick
Spread Pick for Dodgers vs. Mariners
- Seattle Mariners ML (5 units)
The Los Angeles Dodgers are just one game away from securing the NL West entering Thursday evening, and are expected to be the #3 seed in the NL. The Seattle Mariners have been the best team in the big leagues this month. They have only dropped five games the entire month. The Mariners have won 10 straight home games. These games have big meaning for the Mariners as they are striving for the #1 seed in the AL, which secures home field in the ALDS and ALCS.
Furthermore, Dodgers pitcher Emmet Sheehan has been sharp but is not the same pitcher on the road, where he has a subpar 4.40 ERA on the year. The Dodgers are 0-2 in his last two outings. Mariners pitcher George Kirby rebounded with a strong outing last week, pitching six scoreless innings against the Astros. The Mariners have won in each of Kirby's past three outings. He has netted a strong 3.36 ERA at home. The Mariners have kept their opponent to just 12 runs in their past five games.
Over/Under Pick for Dodgers vs. Mariners
- Over (5 units)
I expect plenty of runs. Los Angeles continues to generate a ton of runs. They have averaged 5.5 runs in their past 10 games. Kirby has been shaky, as seen in his ERA near six this month.
In addition, Seattle has been raking at the dish. They have scored five or more runs in seven of their past 10 games. Sheehan isn't pitching deep into games, going 5.2 or fewer innings in six of his past ten outings, and the Dodgers' bullpen is a bit of a weakness, posting a 4.25 ERA on the season. The over is a convincing 7-3 in the Mariners' past 10 games.
