Detroit Tigers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction 

Detroit was able to score two runs late to tie the game on Wednesday and they won in extra innings, which was their fourth win over the Mariners in the last week or so. Detroit is 28-31 at home, while Seattle is just 26-32 on the road. Seattle’s offense was looking better prior to this series, but it has regressed in the first two games of this series. Detroit is probably going with another bullpen game here, while Seattle will have Miller on the mound, who has been pretty good in his last five outings. The Mariners have one of the best pitching staffs in all of baseball, but they are also one of the lowest scoring teams in the MLB. My Detroit Tigers vs Seattle Mariners prediction is for this game to go under the total.
