Tigers vs Mariners Prediction
Detroit had their winning streak snapped on Saturday afternoon and they only had two hits in the loss, but they have scored 7+ runs in four of their last five. The Tigers are 15-15 at home this year, while the Mariners are 15-15 on the road. Seattle has won three of their last five games and they are starting Castillo, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in his last three outings. Detroit is starting Flaherty, who has allowed 3+ earned runs in four of his last five starts. I don’t like either starter and I think we will see some runs, so I am taking the over here.
