Detroit Tigers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

The Mariners just aren’t putting offense together right now, as they’ve been held to two or fewer runs in four of their last five games. I doubt the Mariners will find their footing against a CY Young winner in Skubal. Yes, Skubal will be better than he was on his opening day start. It happens. Skubal has also had success against the Mariners in his career, and he went to college in Seattle, so this is a bit of a homecoming for him. The fact that we can get one of the best pitchers in baseball at this soft of a price feels like a steal. Give me the Tigers on Wednesday afternoon.
