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.

Kiké Hernández carried a three-hit day for the Dodgers, delivering the go-ahead two-run double in the ninth to lift Los Angeles past Seattle 5-3. Dalton Rushing tacked on a two-run homer earlier, and the Dodgers pieced it together with a deep bullpen performance to close out the win. Glancing at the box, the late surge came via a Conforto single and a wild pitch that cleared the way for a pivotal scoring frame. The day also highlighted the Mariners’ 30-30 milestone contender, Julio Rodríguez, and kept the Dodgers in prime form for the postseason chase.

Glasnow worked three innings in his final regular-season start, while Gilbert kept the Dodgers at bay through four; the fifth inning saw Dalton Rushing connect for a two-out, two-run shot to break the score. Seattle briefly retook the lead with Polanco’s three-run blast, but a late Dodgers rally—fueled by Conforto, Hernández, and a controlled bullpen—reasserted control. Henríquez locked it down in the ninth, completing a nine-strikeout finish for the relief staff, a nod to a 1920s-era bullpen flourish.

Up next, the Dodgers close out the regular season with Kershaw on the hill against Bryce Miller, as Seattle turns the page toward the postseason. The win underscores Los Angeles’ late-season resilience and the depth of its bullpen, while Seattle’s star duo, Rodríguez and Polanco, left their imprint but couldn’t seal the game in the final frames.

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.
