00:00So let's turn to what is a very important series for one team and that would be the Seattle Mariners
00:05visiting the Los Angeles Dodgers. A series where the Mariners really need to get two out of three
00:12and it's not something that many teams can do which is take two out of three for the Dodgers
00:18but after a couple losses versus the Rangers in their most recent series the Sunday results
00:24to be determined and the Astros surging right now in the AL West has left the Mariners searching for
00:32some wins and and falling a bit further behind in the standings also combined with the fact that
00:37the Red Sox have been super hot that this pushes the Mariners down when it comes to the AL wild
00:42card
00:42overall. So looking at the pitching matchups for this one Emerson Hancock as we talked about before
00:47with Craig that his name is apparently in some trade conversations. Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller
00:54this is going to be a tough tough matchup a tough tough series overall because we can say that
01:00Eric Lauer and Roki Sasaki certainly haven't been the top tier pitchers but it's not as if Luis Castillo
01:07has been the former ace of himself. So yes the Dodgers are going to be favored in every one of
01:13these series but if the Mariners cannot take two out of three I think it might be curtains for them
01:18in
01:18this season because the Astros are surging although it may be some smoke and mirrors the Rangers are surging
01:24and winning games and the AL wild card dynamic is just a bit too much to overcome if you're not
01:29consistently winning games.
