Detroit Tigers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
I’m on the Mariners here. Montero’s been getting smashed in some of his recent starts and just is not a pitcher I’m looking to back in any way, shape or form right now. Luis Castillo has been much sharper comparing the two side-by-side, and while the Mariners’ offense can be hit or miss, I think that Seattle does enough behind their ace to get a big win here. Give me Seattle.
