In my view, this matchup favors the Tigers staying within the number (1.5) with the potential of Detroit winning the game outright. Why? Seattle hurler Bryan Woo has struggled recently, allowing five or more earned runs in two consecutive starts made this season. Additionally, Detroit arrives at this contest in good form, winning five of the team’s last six games. With that said, I am backing the Detroit Tigers plus the 1.5 runs in this game.Hans Geevers's Pick: Detroit Tigers +1.5
