September 14 - After taking two of three games from the Los Angeles Angels, the Seattle Mariners open a three-game home series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night. The Dodgers (88-57), who were also off Thursday, have a 13 1/2-game lead in the National League West. "I think that every September we have played good baseball except one," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said in reference to a 12-17 record in September 2017. The Dodgers got good and bad news Wednesday. I'm really looking forward to next week, just going forward and enjoying time with the team and getting into the playoffs."

The Rays have 20 games to go and sit four games back of the first-place Baltimore Orioles in the competitive American League East. "I think everybody is just focused because we need to win and win no matter what," Ramirez said. But if the Mariners continue to falter and frustration continues to build, it could derail some of the success that Seattle has established throughout the season. Rays right-hander Aaron Civale (7-3, 2.76 ERA) is set to make his 20th start of the season. Mariners right-hander Luke Weaver (2-5, 6.71 ERA) likely will receive the bulk of the workload as the bullpen looks to fill nine innings.
