Dominic Canzone put on a show in his last outing against Los Angeles, launching two home runs — including a tiebreaking shot in the eighth inning — to lift Seattle past the Dodgers 7-6. Now the Mariners send Emerson Hancock (6-5, 3.26 ERA) to the mound against a Dodgers club that has won 68 games and owns one of the best records in baseball. This is the kind of environment that reveals what a team is made of.

For Seattle, Canzone’s 18 home runs on the season make him a genuine threat every time he steps in. Julio Rodríguez (.255, 16 HR, 46 RBI) adds another dimension, and Randy Arozarena (.278, 66 runs) has been one of the more consistent offensive presences in the lineup. The Mariners are 4-6 over their last 10 games and sitting three-plus games below .500, but they’ve shown they can beat this Dodgers team.

Los Angeles counters with Eric Lauer (6-5, 4.50 ERA), who was dominant in his last look at Seattle — holding them to one hit and one walk across six innings. Max Muncy (21 HR, 49 RBI) and Kyle Tucker (9 HR, 51 RBI) anchor a lineup that has the depth to punish any mistake. The Dodgers are 6-4 over their last 10 and looking to reassert themselves at home.

Los Angeles is 32-20 at home and leads its division. A win here does different things for each team: it keeps Seattle’s margin manageable and hands the Dodgers a reminder that their home record isn’t a given.

What to Watch For

Eric Lauer enters this start with something to prove in a different sense — his ERA sits at 4.50 on the season, but his last outing against Seattle was as clean as a pitcher can be. Whether he can replicate that efficiency against a lineup that has now seen him once will be the central pitching question. Emerson Hancock has been steady at 3.26 ERA with 102 strikeouts, and his ability to keep the Dodgers’ deep lineup in check will determine how long Seattle can stay in this game.

On the offensive side, Max Muncy has been Los Angeles’s most consistent power threat, hitting .256 with 21 home runs and 59 runs scored. Tommy Edman is hitting .330 and brings a different kind of pressure — contact, baserunning, and the ability to set the table. For Seattle, Cal Raleigh (.164, 11 HR, 36 RBI) is a player whose average understates his impact; when he connects, it matters.

The Dodgers have also activated Edwin Díaz from the injured list, returning one of the game’s most recognizable closers to their bullpen. His presence changes the calculus in close games late, and Seattle’s ability to build and hold a lead — as they did in their last meeting — will be tested by a Los Angeles relief corps that just got significantly deeper.
