Mariners vs Tigers Prediction
This series will be a better indicator of who the Tigers are, as they looked silly against the Dodgers. The Dodgers are going to do that to a lot of teams this season, so I’m not putting a lot of stock into that series. However, for this game, it’s hard to get behind Jobe, who has four MLB innings under his belt. The Mariners pitched well against the A’s and were able to win two games, with the offense producing very little.
The Mariners have scored a combined four runs in their last three games. There’s too much talent on that Mariners roster to think that’s going to continue. Hancock has had his struggles through 15 career MLB starts, but I’m still going to back the experienced pitcher and a team at home with an offense that’s due. Give me the Mariners.
