Seattle's ALDS plans hinge on Bryan Woo's health after inflammation sidelined him. Kirby, Gilbert, and Castillo are trusted anchors, while the fourth starter figures to be Bryce Miller, Emerson Hancock, or Logan Evans. Postseason rosters must be locked in advance, so Seattle can't easily wiggle if Woo isn't cleared.

The Tigers are the opponent in a best-of-five that starts with an 8:38 p.m. ET first pitch, and Seattle's decision-making will shape innings, bullpen usage, and fantasy outlook for this playoff run.

On the season’s final day, Clayton Kershaw could close his regular-season chapter with the Dodgers, a potential lifelong memory in the making. The Mariners rest routine veterans as Seattle eyes health over numbers, but Cal Raleigh and Eugenio Suárez chase big power marks, while Randy Arozarena looks to add to his career-best steals tally. Kershaw’s history against Seattle—2.03 ERA, 35.6% K in five starts—flavors the matchup with a touch of vintage drama.

Roster shuffles (Logan Evans optioned; Miles Mastrobouni recalled) add late-season intrigue, balancing fantasy upside with playoff prep. The day blends legacy, health, and subtle value for DFS and season-long leagues as managers parse risk and reward in a baseball landscape that’s finally dialing up relevance for fantasy contenders.

Kiké Hernández delivered a clutch ninth-inning two-run double that flipped the script, lifting the Dodgers to a 5-3 win over Seattle as LA piled up 15 strikeouts and closed with a clean ninth. Dalton Rushing extended the lead with a fifth-inning homer, while Seattle’s Jorge Polanco answered back with a three-run shot. Edgardo Henríquez notched the save as LA stretched its win streak to five and kept a tight hold on head-to-head momentum over the Mariners.

The Seattle Mariners are set to face the Oakland Athletics in Game 2 of their series in Sacramento. After a solid 3-1 victory last night, the Mariners are gaining momentum, closing the gap in the American League West, now just three games behind the division leaders. Logan Evans will take the mound for Seattle with a commendable 4-3 record and a 3.64 ERA, while the Athletics will counter with Luis Severino, who has struggled this season with a 4.96 ERA and a 4-11 record. Recent performances highlight the Mariners' pitching strength, exemplified by Luis Castillo's excellent outing last night.

The Mariners have been on a roll, currently enjoying a three-game win streak against Oakland. Betters should note that four of the last five home games for the Athletics have gone under the total runs, a trend that could influence betting strategies. Cal Raleigh is also making waves, riding an eight-game hitting streak, which adds depth to the Mariners' offensive lineup. All signs point to a competitive matchup, with betting odds slightly favoring the Mariners.
