Pick
I’m backing the Mariners here. I get why the Tigers are a tempting look here at plus money but if this ends up being a battle of the bullpens, which I think it might as I don’t expect either starter to go deep in this game with it being their respective first starts in a couple of weeks, the Mariners have the far better bullpen side-by-side and I just think this is a spot for Seattle to finish the series strong and grab a win. Give me Seattle here.
