Detroit Tigers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Mariners here. I don’t love it because of how the Mariners’ offense pulled a Houdini on Tuesday and vanished once again, but I will say, I like what I’ve seen from Bryan Woo to this point, and he’s still been relatively solid on the road this season. The Tigers will probably be putting out a bullpen game for this one, and their bullpen hasn’t been overly effective for much of the year if we’re being 100% honest. The Mariners can ill afford slip ups in winnable spots if they’re going to make a serious run at the division crown down the stretch, so I’ll side with Seattle in this one.
