Tigers vs Mariners Prediction
Both teams are tied 5-5 in their last 10 games and the Mariners are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Seattle.
In this Tigers vs Mariners Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -120 home favorites. I like the Mariners in this one at home with Bryce Miller on the mound, who has been one of the best home pitchers in baseball, with a 1.34 home ERA. Valdez has been shaky at best, comes in with a 6.39 ERA across his last three starts and almost a 5.00 ERA on the road, so the pitching edge goes to the home team. On top of that, the Mariners also have a better bullpen, so I expect them to take care of business at home in this one.
