Seattle Mariners' right-hander Bryce Miller, who has shown significant improvement this season with a 9-7 record and a 3.29 ERA, will pitch against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a crucial game as the Mariners struggle on their road trip. The Dodgers, leading the NL West with a 74-52 record, aim to extend their four-game home win streak. In their last game, the Dodgers shut out the Mariners 3-0, with Gavin Stone pitching seven scoreless innings and Max Muncy hitting a decisive two-run home run. The Mariners' offense has been lackluster, contributing to their recent slide and making their postseason prospects dim. The Dodgers are bolstered by the return of key players like Max Muncy and the acquisition of Tommy Edman for the stretch drive.
