Detroit Tigers vs Seattle Mariners Prediction

I’m on the Mariners here. Not a game I’m rushing to bet as the Mariners haven’t really shown a whole lot of fight in this series, but Bryan Woo has pitched so well at home this season with an ERA around one, that I have to think that even if the Mariners don’t have a great day offensively again, that it should be enough to give them a great shot at a win here. All in all, I think the Mariners get it done here so give me Seattle.
