Seattle Mariners vs Detroit Tigers Prediction
Detroit limps into this series after losing six of their last seven games and their pitching staff is in shambles right now. The Tigers traded Flaherty at the deadline and they are dealing with some injuries, so the starting pitching staff is not in the best spot. The Tigers will start Keider Montero, who has been roughed up in four straight outings. Seattle is 33-24 at home this year and they are starting Luis Castillo, who should have no issues against this Tigers lineup that has scored two runs or fewer in four of their last five games. My Seattle Mariners vs Detroit Tigers prediction is for the Mariners to win by at least two runs.
